Hydrangea hydrangeoides, the Japanese hydrangea vine, is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Ulleungdo Island of South Korea, Japan, and the southern Kuril Islands.^[1]

Etymology

The specific epithet hydrangeoides means "resembling Hydrangea" or "like a Hydrangea".^[2]^[3] This may appear strange considering the current position of this taxon within the genus Hydrangea. However, it was first described as a member of the genus Schizophragma^[1] and the specific epithet was chosen to express a morphological similarity to the previously separate genus Hydrangea.

Horticulture

Under its synonym Schizophragma hydrangeoides its cultivars 'Roseum' and 'Moonlight' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.^[4]^[5]

In cultivation this species is slow to establish.^[3]
