Sarcopetalum harveyanum

Sarcopetalum harveyanum, known as the pearl vine is a common plant found mostly in coastal areas of eastern Australia. It can be found in or around rainforests, and is also seen in eucalyptus forests. The leaf stalk is attached under the surface of the leaf. The leaves are heart shaped with raised leaf veins on both surfaces of the leaf. Seven veins branch out from the leaf base (A mid rib and three pairs of veins). The inner pair of veins extend almost all the way up the leaf. Pearl Vine is food for the larvae of the moths Eudocima salaminia and Eudocima fullonia.
