Blue vine
Also called kamiebi. A deciduous woody vine of the Menispermaceae family. It is found in the mountains and fields of Honshu, Okinawa, and East Asia. The leaves are alternate and long-stalked, ovate, and sometimes shallowly divided into three lobes. In summer, many small yellowish-white flowers grow in cone-like formations in the leaf axils. The plant is dioecious, and female plants produce spherical fruits that turn black in autumn. The xylem and roots are called mokuboi and are used medicinally.
