Whats my name???

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?

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.

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)
