Luzuriaga marginata, commonly known as almond flower,[2] is a woody vine that is native to Patagonia as well as the Falkland Islands.[3] In Chile, it is distributed along the southern regions, from Los Ríos to Magallanes.[4] Plants grow to 3 metres high and have pale, glossy green leaves that are up to 22 mm long. Perfumed flowers about 20 mm in diameter are produced in the leaf axils in summer.[3] These are followed by dark purple berries that are up to 10 mm in diameter.[3]
