    I've got no clue what it is, but it sure is neat - espcially the spiny calyx on the blooms. I didn't see any leaves on it, but that's not uncommon to liana in the Amazon basin. This was in primary forest just off the Rio Napo in Orellana Province, Ecuador.

    And Alopuesta makes sense, if I take the withered bit opposite the leaf to be a withered leaf.
