Tetrastigma leucostaphylum, the Indian chestnut vine,[2] is a flowering plant in the family Vitaceae. It is native to Sri Lanka,[3] India, Nepal and South East Asia.[1][2]

Ecology

Relationship with Rafflesia

In Sumatra, Tetrastigma leucostaphylum serves as host for the world's largest flower, the parasitic plant Rafflesia arnoldii.[4] In Rafflesia Forest Reserve in Borneo, Tetrastigma leucostaphylum hosts Rafflesia pricei.[5]
