Petrea volubilis
The leaves are dark green, shiny, hard as cardboard and rough like sand paper, hence it's name, Sanpaper Vine or Queens Wreath. It looks somewhat similar to a tropical Wisteria, with masses of hanging bluish purple flowers..
It is a tropical plant, native to Central America.
Saw this beautiful plant in Gilma's garden in San Ramon. For her spotting see here... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/471...
