What is Stephania Tetrandra?

Stephania tetrandra is a perennial climbing plant originally found in Taiwan and southern China, where it prefers to grow along village paths and roadsides. Under favorable conditions, the plant can climb to heights of up to 3 meters. Unlike many other climbing plants, Stephania tetrandra does not produce flowers. With its green, spirally arranged leaves, it somewhat resembles common ivy.
