Stephania spp. (Red Vine)

Stephania sp. ‘Red Vine’ is a caudiciform climbing plant sold under a descriptive trade name rather than a confirmed species identification. From the storage base, slender reddish stems can search for a support while small leaves gather along their route. That vining habit distinguishes this listing from the single-leaf-on-a-stalk look of S. kaweesakii. Stephania is a genus of flowering plants in the moonseed family; the exact species of this plant still needs supplier confirmation. Give the vine a place to travel and it will turn the caudex into a departure point. Apparently the rock had plans.
