description_en: Genus of 10-12 species of evergreen trees and woody-stemmed tendril climbers or scramblers from woodland in tropical Africa and South Africa. The leaves are alternate, and simple or 3-, occasionally 5-palmate, with entire or toothed leaflets. Tendrils are produced opposite the leaves. Tiny, yellowish green flowers are borne in small cymes that are almost hidden by the leaves; they are followed by red to purple berries. Where temperatures fall below 7°C (45°F), grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse, or as houseplants; elsewhere, use to clothe a wall, pergola, or arch.
