RE: Schizophragma 'Moonlight'

Has anyone ever heard of this vine?  A *very new* gardener friend of mine
bought one, thinking it was clematis 'Moonlight'.  She thought anything
named 'Moonlight' would be the same as my plant.  When I told her yesterday
I had a rose, clematis, coreopsis and yarrow all called 'Moonlight' and
tried to explain this, I think she nearly gave up gardening.  

I'm completely unfamiliar with this vine.  Any leads?

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
