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.

Thanks. Mine seems to be doing the latter!

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.

I don't know which species this is, as Chilterns described it as
"red flowered form". It has started to flower, and is definitely
snapdragon-like, and quite attractive.
