- Akebia — A genus of woody climbing vines, native to East Asia (Japan, China, and Korea), belonging to the family Lardizabalaceae; by extension, the species Akebia quinata, popularly known as the 'chocolate vine' due to the exotic, sweetish fragrance resembling vanilla or chocolate emitted by its purple flowers. This robust ornamental plant features a flexible structure with palmate leaves and produces elongated, edible fruits with a gelatinous pulp, being heavily used in modern landscape design for decorating pergolas and fences.
