Corckscrew vine and snail vine query....

Tillamook, OR(Zone 8b)

Are the leaves of these two the exact same or is there a way to tell them apart without flowers?
I checked out all the pictures in the PDB, and they do look exactly alike, but I know that pictures sometimes lie....

They are slightly different, plus the growth habit is a bit different but they are very hard to tell apart without flowers.

The leaves of the corkscrew are slightly narrower and pointier than the snail vine. In addition, the corkscrew are more balanced leaves...the snail can be less symetrical, with a bulge to one side...

The snail is more agressive, with lots of green foliage, and the corkscrew is much less vigorous, and yellows easily.

Thanks much for the help!

I don't have either one, I think they are both beautiful and I'm thinking about getting one or the other next year, but I have to save the money first!!
