Gynura procumbens (also known as sabuñgai or sambung nyawa[2][3]), sometimes called "longevity spinach" or "longevity greens", is an edible vine found in China, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Leaves are ovate-elliptic or lanceolate, 3.5 to 8 centimetres (1 1⁄3 to 3 1⁄6 in) long, and 0.8 to 3.5 centimetres (1⁄3 to 1 1⁄3 in) wide. Flowering heads are panicled, narrow, yellow, and 1 to 1.5 centimetres (1⁄3 to 2⁄3 in) long.[4][5] The plant grows wild but is also cultivated as a vegetable or medicinal plant. Its young leaves are used for cooking, such as with meat and prawns in a vegetable soup.[6]
