Cyphostemma Rubromarginatum

Red-margin cyphostemma, scientifically known as Cyphostemma rubromarginatum, is a strikingly unique plant native to southern Africa. Its most distinctive feature is the vivid red margins on its leaves, which contrast beautifully with its dark green center. This climbing vine is part of the Cucurbitaceae family, commonly known as the gourd family, and is often found in rocky outcrops and dry woodlands. Despite its ornamental appeal, it is also valued for its medicinal properties in traditional African medicine. Due to its rarity and specific habitat requirements, it is considered a vulnerable species in its natural range.
