Mansoa alliacea, or garlic vine, is a species of tropical liana in the trumpet-creeper family. It is native to Northern South America,[4] and has spread to Central America and Brasil.[5] Among the mestizos of the Amazon rainforest it is known as ajo sacha, a Spanish-Quechua name that means "forest garlic" or "wild garlic".

M. alliacea has been exported overseas, and grows in the favourable climates of (for example) Puerto Rico, Southern Africa, and India.[2][6] It is cultivated in the West Indies.[4]
