Lackeya multiflora
Lackeya multiflora is a climbing herbaceous plant that grows in warm temperate to subtropical riverine woodland, woodland margins and grassland. Its native range is central and south-eastern USA. It is found in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. It has the common name of Boykin's clusterpea (Dioclea multiflora).
The genus name of Lackeya is in honour of James A. Lackey (b. 1943), American botanist at Iowa State University and the Smithsonian Institution and also specialist in Fabaceae and Phaseoleae families of plants. The Latin specific epithet of multiflora means multiple or many flowers.
