Common names include Chinese violet, cowslip creeper, Pakalana vine, Tonkin jasmine, Tonkinese creeper. The plant bears clusters of golden yellow blooms along the vining stems during summer months. Individual blooms emerge successively over a period of weeks emitting a rich, heavy fragrance during the day and night. Caution, stem is poisonous to pigs. The Cowslip is classified as a creeper that can climb as far as 2-5 meters. The vine is small, round and very tough. As the tree is older, the vine will change from green to brown. The top is covered with dense white bush that can cover other trees completely. The Cowslip is reproduced by cutting or seeding. It can grow in airy soil and in bright sunlight.
