Mendoncia puberula
Mendoncia puberula is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae[1] (or according to some specialists in the family Mendonciaceae). It is a liana native to tropical South America, ranging from Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador through northern, central, and southern Brazil.[1] It is a climber with opposite, entire ovate leaves somewhat hairy abaxially, which renders the species its epithet. The fruit is a drupe, resembling a dark grape. The flowers are surrounded by two bracts. The species' native habitat includes the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado in Brazil. References
