$5.00
Tetrastigma pubinerve is a vigorous, woody climbing vine (liana) belonging to the Vitaceae (grape) family. Known for its ability to rapidly cover structures, it is native to the wet tropical biomes of China (specifically Guangdong and Guangxi) and Indo-China, including Cambodia and Vietnam.
It produces small, inconspicuous flowers in umbel-like clusters. The fruit is a globose berry, approximately 1–1.2 cm in diameter, which typically contains 2 to 3 seeds. Like many members of the Tetrastigma genus, this species is closely related to the essential hosts for Rafflesia parasitic plants, though it is primarily noted for its ornamental and screening capabilities due to its dense, glossy foliage.
