Philageria Intergeneric Hybrid

This twining or scrambling evergreen is described by Bean's Trees and Shrubs Online:
"A hybrid between Lapageria rosea and Philesi...Read Morea magellanica which was raised by Messrs Veitch at Chelsea, and flowered in their nursery there in 1872. It was named, described, and figured that year in The Gardeners’ Chronicle, p. 358, fig. 119. The lapageria was the seed-bearer. It is a scrambling shrub with leathery, dark green, shining leaves about 11⁄2 in. long and 1⁄2 in. wide, with three prominent veins running lengthwise and converging at the apex. Flower pendulous, about 2 in. long, 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 in. wide, with a rosy purple calyx of three oblong, pointed fleshy sepals about 1 in. long; and a corolla of three bright rose-coloured overlapping petals twice as long; anthers 1⁄2 in. long, yellow; flower-stalk 1⁄4 in. long. Bot. Mag., n.s., t. 92.

This interesting hybrid bears more resemblance to the lapageria in habit, in the stamens and in the colour of the flower, than it does to the philesia. It is hardy in Cornwall and similar places but is now very rare."
