I grew some mixed Andean seeds about 4 years ago and gave the resulting
plants to someone who likes those types of plants.
One has now flowered for the first time, doesn't have a particularly
pleasant smell but we would like to identify it.
Anyone help here? Flowers now and grown quite sturdy.
I uploaded the pictures onto Flicker.

I wonder if it could be Lardizabala biternata

Gosh that's quick David, none of the people at the Alpine gardening Club
or the hardy society could even begin to give a suggestion.
They'll be really pleased!
This will teach me to pass of unknown seeds:)

I agree with David its Lardizabala biternata, I am surprised to see it
flowering now its normally a bit later, incidentally you need two different
seedlings if you want the sweet fruit.
It is related to but not as hardy as Akebia and Holboellia and in the wild
grows with Lapageria

NO, well as they didn't know what it was they were going to give it 1
more year and were going to throw it out if it didn't flower - but now
it has!! Mind you the info on it on the web has some widely varying
suggestions for its preferred growing conditions!
