Dischidia ruscifolia Babuyan Island vipp 3-26 all covered with heavy trichomesEndemic to the Philippine archipelago, this pendulous species makes a great addition to a plant collection. Its small cordate leaves are born in pairs along a somewhat stiff vine with tight, close growing internodes. The sessile peduncles often produce single, white flowers at every node and have a wonderful fragrance. This particular variety of Dischidia ruscifolia comes from the Babuyan Islands and differs in flower color and slightly in leaf shape.
