Pileostegia viburnoides

Pileostegia viburnoides, a climbing plant related to the hydrangea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to India and eastern Asia. It is a slow-growing, self-clinging, evergreen climber eventually growing to 6 m (20 ft) in length, with long narrow leaves and dense panicles of creamy white flowers in late summer.[1][2]

The specific epithet viburnoides means "like a viburnum", though viburnums belong to a different family of plants.[3]
