Three-Leaved Wild Vine (Causonis trifolia)

Causonis trifolia, commonly known as bush grape or three-leaved wild vine, is a climbing vine in the Vitaceae family. Native to tropical and subtropical Asia, it is valued for its small, grape-like fruits, which are sometimes consumed locally, and its vigorous climbing habit, which provides ground cover and ecological benefits. Traditionally, various parts of the plant—including leaves, stems, and roots—have been used in folk medicine for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic properties. With its medicinal, ecological, and ornamental significance, Causonis trifolia remains an important species in tropical forests, home gardens, and local herbal practices.
