Rivea hypocrateriformis
_in_Hyderabad,_AP_W_IMG_9251.jpg)
Rivea hypocrateriformis is an evergreen, climbing plant with twining stems that become woody with age. The plant can scramble over the ground or climb into the surrounding vegetation. The plant is harvested from the wild for local use as a food and a medicine. It is sold for both purposes in local markets. It is sometimes cultivated for its edible seeds according to one report, but this seems unlikely - if it is cultivated it is more likely to be for its edible leaves.
