Description
Mansoa alliacea, or garlic vine, is a species of tropical liana in the family Bignoniaceae . It is native to Northern South America, and has spread to Central America and Brazil. Among the mestizos of the Amazon rainforest it is known as ajo sacha, a Spanish-Quechua name that means "forest garlic" or "wild garlic".
Mansoa alliacea has been exported overseas, and grows in the favourable climates of (for example) Puerto Rico, Southern Africa , Thailand and India. It is cultivated in the West Indies.
