Vinca (Apocynaceae) 3:472  
Vinca major (Periwinkle) is a naturalised garden escape. It occurs widely in reasonably well watered areas. It is a robust scrambling plant with shining, dark green, opposite leaves typically 5-9 cm long and conspicuous blue flowers. Variegated leaved forms are common in gardens and appear to have become naturalised in some areas.
