Salpichroa origanifolia
Also called Cock's Eggs, Pampas Lily Of The Valley
Salpichroa origanifolia is a scrambling, rhizomatous perennial vine from South America in the nightshade family, grown for its small white bell-shaped flowers and white berries. It is a species, not a genus, and it spreads readily, so it is best kept in check in the garden.
Salpichroa origanifolia is a species of flowering plant in the nightshade family known by the common names lily of the valley vine, pampas lily-of-the-valley or cock's-eggs.
This species is native to South America (Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay) and is naturalised in Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia), Australasia, Europe (United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal), and North America (United States, Mexico). This plant is present in grasslands, roadsides and in neglected areas and may occasionally occur in gardens, at an elevation up to 100 metres (330 ft) above sea level.
