This is a woody vine or subshrub of Brasil, very common in gardens here. This picture was taken in Rio de Janeiro, where I live. It has leathery leaves, blooms in winter and spring and is propagated by seeds and specially by cuttings. Tolerates cool temperatures.

I do, but cuttings are made after blooming time. Bloom consumes all the energy that the plant could dispose.We are in spring here. The cuttings that the shops have on sale, were made before bloom time. In order to attract costumers, the cuttings are sold with flowers.

As a young lad at boarding school in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia, this is one of the plants I used to take cuttings from and strike them in "can" pots. I was always told this is a wisteria plant. Is wisteria a common name for this plant?
