Laurel clock vine
Thunbergia laurifolia
Thunbergia species were introduced to Australia as garden ornamentals but have escaped into native vegetation, and four species are now declared weeds in Queensland. They climb and smother native vegetation, shading out and killing the understorey and often pulling down mature trees with the weight of the vine.
