Hello guys, I have a tropical vine / creeper plant that I have absolute no idea what its botanical name, proper common name and country of origin is. I have been told by locals that it is called "Swallow Vine". With that name, what I managed to find online is Bauhinia championii; which is not the same plant, although Bauhinia championii is also referred to as "Swallow Vine". I had this plant growing up to 6 feet long before it withered and died. At about that length, it had no flower or fruits. But I managed to save it before it completely die off and now it's about 30cm long. The unique feature of this plant is that its leaf can sometimes be three pronged or single pronged. I can understand why people call it "Swallow Vine" as its three pronged leaves does look like a swallow bird. I believe this plant originates from South East Asian or East Asian region. If you need better photos, do let me know. Hope you guys are able to identify this plant. Thanks! Zach
