A climbing vine with purple flowers
The name is derived from the flowering vine of the same name, which was named in honor of the 18th-century American physician Caspar Wistar. In the language of flowers, it symbolizes longevity, grace, and a welcoming spirit. It has recently gained attention as a botanical alternative to more common names like Willow or Violet.
