'''''Hydrangea anomala''''' is a species of [[hydrangea]] native to the woodlands of the [[Himalaya]], southern and central [[China]] and northern [[Myanmar]].
It is a woody climbing plant, growing to 12 m height up [[tree]]s or [[cliff|rock faces]], climbing by means of small aerial roots on the stems. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[deciduous]], ovate, 7-13 cm long and 4-10 cm broad, with a heart-shaped base, coarsely serrated margin and acute apex. The [[flower]]s are, produced in flat [[corymb]]s 5-15 cm diameter in mid-summer; each corymb includes a small number of peripheral sterile white flowers 2-3.5 cm across, and numerous small, creamy-white fertile flowers 1-2 mm diameter. The [[fruit]] is a dry urn-shaped [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] 3-5 mm diameter containing several small winged seeds.
The closely related ''[[Hydrangea petiolaris]]'' from eastern [[Siberia]], [[Japan]], and [[Korea]], is sometimes treated as a [[subspecies]] of ''H. anomala''; it differs in growing larger (to 20 m) and flower corymbs up to 25 cm diameter. The common name [[Climbing hydrangea]] is applied to both species.
''Hydrangea anomala'' is grown as an [[ornamental plant]], being popular due to its relatively non-aggressive nature.
