I don't know why these were so hard to photograph. It was a case of bad timing: I never seemed to find fresh flowers on these vines. I stumbled upon vines with no flowers, wilted flowers, seed pods, whatever. Finally I came across a plant with fresh, reachable flowers.It's a perennial vine that grows very close to the river and grows big underground tubers, hence the local name papa del ro (river potato). Por fin!No s por qu estas fueron tan difciles de fotografiar. Tuve problemas llegando en el momento justo: encontraba enredaderas sin flores, con flores ya pasadas, semillando, cualquier cosa. Al final encontr una planta que tena flores frescas y al alcance de la cmara.Esta es una enredadera perenne que crece muy cerca del ro y produce unos tubrculos grandes debajo de la tierra, de ah su nombre local papa del ro.Stigmaphyllon bonarienseEnglish: Orchid Vine, Butterfly VineEspaol (en Argentina): papa del ro, guascn, isip amarilloAvae' (guarani): sp guasu, sp sa'yju, ambu kaaDistribution range / rea de distribucin: Southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, northeastern Argentina, southwestern Uruguay / Sudeste de Brasil, Paraguay, noreste de Argentina, sudoeste de Uruguay

The Redwing bush or butterfly, as we call it, is a very pretty native plant with good ornamental value, but actually very seldom seen in local parks and gardens. Today, much to my surprise, I found one in the grounds of the local Agronomy College.The highlights of this plant are, I think, the winged seed pods, but at this time of the year it has both seeds and flowers, which are yellow and add attractiveness to it. La mariposa, como le decimos, es un arbusto nativo muy bonito y con un buen valor ornamental, pero que en realidad se ve muy poco en parques y jardines. Hoy me sorprend al encontrar un ejemplar en el parque de la Facultad de Agronoma local.El detalle ms vistoso de esta planta pienso que son las cpsulas de semillas aladas, pero en esta poca del ao tiene al mismo tiempo semillas y flores, que son amarillas y le agregan atractivo.Heteropterys glabra (= Heteropterys angustifolia)English: RedwingEspaol (en Argentina): mariposa, tilo de campo, falso tiloQom l'aqtaqa (toba): cotapic lta'aDistribution range / rea de distribucin: Southern Brazil, Paraguay, northeastern Argentina and northwestern Uruguay / Sur de Brasil, Paraguay, noreste de Argentina y noroeste de Uruguay
