Araujia sericifera (syn.Araujia hortorumFourn., Physianthus albensC.Martius) is an ornamental plant in the Asclepiadoideae subfamily. Its common names include common moth vine, moth plant, cruel vine, and white bladderflower.
This plant is native to South America. It is considered a noxious weed in many areas, including New Zealand. It is a fast-growing, twining vine which can cover a tree canopy in two or three years, competing with the tree for light, water, and nutrients. It damages trees by this competition and by twining so tightly around their branches that it girdles them.
