This very interesting vine produces bright red tendrils which it uses to hold on to other plants in order to climb up in search of sun light.
It has medicinal properties which includes treatment for abdominal ailments as well as cough.
Thai migrant workers would use its leaves as a wrap for grilled or bbq fish meat. The leaves have a lemony acidic taste so the entire wrapped parcel of hot fish meat tastes excellent when dipped in a special chilli-salt paste prepared by the workers.
Location: Block 58 level 2 open planted area.
