***Hydrangea hydrangeoides***, the **Japanese hydrangea vine**, is a species of flowering plant in the family [Hydrangeaceae](/source/Hydrangeaceae), native to [Ulleungdo](/source/Ulleungdo) Island of South Korea, Japan, and the southern [Kuril Islands](/source/Kuril_Islands).[1]

## Etymology

The specific epithet *hydrangeoides* means "resembling *Hydrangea*" or "like a *Hydrangea*".[2][3] This may appear strange considering the current position of this taxon within the genus *Hydrangea*. However, it was first described as a member of the genus *Schizophragma*[1] and the specific epithet was chosen to express a morphological similarity to the previously separate genus *Hydrangea*.

## Horticulture

Under its synonym *Schizophragma hydrangeoides* its cultivars 'Roseum' and 'Moonlight' have gained the [Royal Horticultural Society](/source/Royal_Horticultural_Society)'s [Award of Garden Merit](/source/Award_of_Garden_Merit).[4][5]

In cultivation this species is slow to establish.[3]
