I have this unidentified vine that I would like to know its name. I think it was Chinese Fo Ti or something Chinese. Could someone help w/ identification?

Whats my name???
Hi Dean, does it bloom?
No, I've never notice it blooming. It does readily root itself though.

I found this, scroll down to the bottome and there is an illustration, (not actual pic) looks like it could be it... I googled - Exotic Fo-ti vine pic... very interesting.

AuntB,
That looks like it I new it was a Chinese herb but, I didn't know which one. Thanks for doing the research to help me out. If your intrested I got plenty of cuttings or rootlings to depart w/.

No prob, it was very interesting, seems it helps with weight loss, as a mild anti inflamatory, lots of ailments, even gray hair!!! I might have to try a bottle to see if I can stop buying Lady Clairol!
Oh, gosh, Dean! Not YOU too! The enablers over on the brug, aroid, and hibiscus forums have me thinking I need a greenhouse larger than the house I live in..... Thank you, but I'm going to "just say no". (my fellow plantaholics will be proud of me at the weekly meeting, lol)
Okay, thanks for your help once again.
