Stauntonia purpurea
Evergreen vines. Leaves 2-5-foliolate, oblong or subobovate-oblong, 4-8 cm long, 2-4 cm broad, acute to caudate at apex, indistictly maculate beneath, creased on margins, at least when dryed. Flowers few, 1.3-1.9 cm long, in corymbose-racemes, yellowish with purple at base of calyx or wholly purplish-red. Stamens connate, connective protruding. Fruit oblong, 2.5-7(-9) cm long, 1.5-4(-5) cm broad, exocarp creased on surface.
Only distribute in Taiwan. Dense forest along valleys, among shrubs by trailsides; 1000--1600 m.
I really like this flower. Their color are amazing and look like several little Campanulas.
