A combination of Spanish and Latin meaning 'climbing plant with heart-shaped leaves'. Formerly known as Boussingaultia basselloides and Boussingaultia cordifolia. Also known as mignonette vine, lamb's tail and potato vine. Growing on the ground here, as you can see, but an enthusiastic and overly heavy climber, and easily capable of snapping off branches or entire trees under the weight of its fleshy leaves and aerial tubers.

A South American ornamental succulent from the family Basellaceae. Despite being highly invasive in many parts of the world, still sold as a garden plant in some of them. Most of the spread is via the tubers.

The leaves can be fried as a vegetable or used in soups or salads. The stems and rhizomes are also edible. Two species from the Basellaceae are also cultivated as food – Basella alba (Malabar spinach) and Ullucus tuberosus (ulluco).
