'''''Thunbergia mysorensis''''', or '''Clock Vine''', is a woody-stemmed, [[evergreen]] climbing [[flowering plant]], native to [[India]].  The name, ''mysorensis'' is derived from the city of [[Mysore]] in the south of India.
 +
Is also sometimes called "Brick & Butter Vine" & "Dolls' Shoes".
 +
 +
The vine often reaches 20 feet (6 metres) and has narrow leaves.  The flowers are shaped like pendants and are brownish red with a yellow center, and bloom from Spring to Autumn.
 +
 +
The plant is a popular tropical garden item because of its attractiveness to [[hummingbird]]s.
