Description Top

Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Combretum trifoliatum is a unique vine or shrub from the Combretaceae family that is found in Southeast Asia, Wallacea, and parts of Australia. It is able to grow in wet areas, even when submerged for up to four months a year. Unlike other plants in its habitat, it retains its photosynthesizing leaves during flooding. The plant is used in traditional medicine in Cambodia and Laos, and was first described by French botanist Étienne Pierre Ventenat in the early 1800s. Its distribution includes countries such as Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
