Wikipedia:

Thladiantha dubia, the Manchu tubergourd, goldencreeper, wild potato, or (French) thladianthe douteuse, is a herbaceous perennial climbing vine of the gourd family.[2] It is native to Russia, northern China, and Korea, but has been introduced to Japan,[2] southeast Europe (Austria, Romania, Germany), the Galapagos Islands, and scattered locations in North America (Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Wisconsin).[3][4] It is occasionally grown as a medicinal plant, or as an ornamental in North America (the US and Canada).
