Actinidia eriantha

Actinidia eriantha is a species of flowering plant in the Chinese gooseberry family Actinidiaceae, native to southern China.^[1] A large climbing shrub, it is found in low mountain forests and grassy thickets at elevations from 200 to 1,000 m (700 to 3,300 ft).^[2] It fruits in November, which has precluded its development as a commercial crop.^[2][3]
