Cissus discolor (syn. Cissus javana), the rex begonia vine, is a species of flowering plant in the family Vitaceae. It is found in tropical Asia; south-central China, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Mainland Southeast Asia, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and the Philippines at elevations of 600–2000 meters.[1] It is an evergreen climber of slender habit, reaching 2.5 m (8 ft), but usually only 30 cm (1 ft) wide.[2] Leaves are edible, with young leaves eaten raw or cooked as a sour-tasting vegetable.[3] It is recommended for hanging baskets, with the right mix of sun and shade required to bring out the color on the variegated leaves without scorching them.[4]
