Maurandya antirrhiniflora is a twining vine and doesn't get the clingy bits.

Thanks. Mine isn't twining either!

Nick, it doesn't twine or produce tendrils - the leaf stalks
(petioles) twist around clematis fashion. Some species don't even do
this, merely pushing their stems upwards through any convenient shrub.

For years the delightful rich purple flowered species M. barclaiana
self seeded itself about here with abandon. It was always welcome
since it never smothered anything and merely draped itself delicately
where it could.
