Can anyone identity this plant ? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1672041494941&set=a.1098365633403.2015295.1654500796&theater my niece is using this plant for a project but we don't know the english name. It grows in the northern part of the Philippines. Thank you so much.
Welcome gmoore117. Please can you add the pic to this post. I am not a member of Facebook so cannot see image. Help here... http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=60953
Might be a hoya? Check first because I would hate to be responsible for bad school grades! Regards Margaret
Am I interpreting the image correctly? It appears to be paired leaflets attach to a rhachis similar to Macfadyena unguis-cati (sans tendril)?
I research the suggested names but it's not the same. This plant has white flowers, and the seeds are black when it's ripe. It also has a tangy taste when macerated. Here are more pictures below. I asked my niece to take a picture of the flowers and seeds when she see one, but it would probably take a while for her to do that as she has to go to the mountains to take a picture and it is their exam week. Thanks everyone for helping us identify this plant.
Thanks for the response. Is kadsura Philippenensis a type of vine plant or a tree? The plant in the picture that my niece wants to do for a project is kind of like a wild vine. I was also informed that this flowers in the summer time and the colour of the flower is not white it is purplish.
