Asarina antirrhiniflora

This is a common twining plant on moister slopes and in canyons. It's also often listed as Maurandya antirrhiniflora but I think Asarina is the more recent placement. Asarina is also appealing from the point of view of basic morphology given this plant's similarity to Asarina filipes.
