What do these terms mean?

Remarks:
Very hardy small vine, with smelling, little, pale pink flowers. Reproduction by seeds is very easy. Sericofera means "carrier of silk" for the relatively voluminuos soft silky annex (flock) of every small seed, that aid the natural diffusion of seeds by wind, coming out from the coriaceous fruit, when opened. For this said if introduced, may become naturalized in wild.
