October 2017 was not as dry as some years, and this vine was blooming along the public road. Established teak trees were growing on each side of the road, so this was a fairly shady section of the gravel road. I lived there for two years and never saw this vine or flowers again.

This vine is a vigorous climber, although I have only seen it around the Poza Honda area. In the dry season it drops most of its leaves. It is a butterfly magnet. I have not found it in any reference material for Manabi Province, Ecuador and the locals do not know what it is called. I hope that someone can identify it.
