Marcgravia sp
Marcgravia sp is a climbing crawling vine to epiphyte that starts off
with small slender leaves that shingle as it climbs to the surface it is
attached to. Once it reaches mature size the leaves hang back off the
surface and looks a bit more like a Hoya. The flowers are very odd as
well personally a cross between a Hoya and a passionflower come to mind.
An rare oddity in any collection plants are often grown as terrarium
subjects sense it stay small if kept form climbing to high. I know of
only 2 sources for the plant and one is a botanical garden with a mature
plant that I have seen flower once. Plants are small cuttings rooted
up in 3 inch terrarium domed pots.
