Indian rubbervine
Cryptostegia grandiflora
Indian rubbervine is a vigorous tropical woody vine bearing large, showy pink-purple flowers, but it is highly invasive outside its native range and listed as a noxious weed in many countries including Australia and the USA. It tolerates drought once established and grows rapidly in full sun with minimal care. Planting is strongly discouraged outside controlled or native environments due to its invasive potential.
