[syngoniums]

Three plants that have successfully come back after multiple generations, sometimes in random and unexpected places: an ornamental variegated strain of pepper, Malabar spinach (Basella alba), and chiltepin (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum).

This is the flower of Malabar Spinach (Basella alba), a very popular climbing vegetable in Asia (the edible part is the foliage). #vegetable #malabarspinach #climbingspinach #Basella #Basellaceae #落葵 #蔬菜

Red Malabar Spinach (Basella alba) with arms in the air in unison. It is a climbing tropical perennial vegetable that is native to the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea. While it is cooked and eaten sort of like a more mucilaginous Spinach or Swiss Chard, it is actually in another plant family that also includes Ulluco, the gorgeous Andean tuber. #basellaceae #malabarspinach #basellaalba #seedkeeping (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

#2169 - Anredera cordifolia - Madeira Vine 

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).
