| If it helps anyone locate this plant, Tiliacora triandra is the botanical name. It is native to mainland Southeast Asia and usually goes by the common name in Laos: bai yanang or simply yanang. I mention this just in case someone thinks that the word "Diels" is some part of a plant name. It's the proper writing of a botanical name. Tiliacora is the "genus", "triandra" is the "specific epithet" and Diels is the "authority" or author of the botanical name (the person who gave this plant this name). It's a vining plant that can be grown alongside your beans in summer. Wasn't that fun? Now, where to find it???? Joe |

| Thanks Joe for providing the explanation. I found an eBay seller who has this plant but the shipping from Thailand is costly. He said he should have some seeds in summer. I think I need to be patient. In the meantime, I'm hoping that someone in the US has it:-) |

Phoebe,
Can I ask where you obtained the plant from? I want one but am unable to find seeds nor plants anywhere :( |

 This is a very young yanang I got from my mothers farm in California. They are very easy to propagate from root cuttings and vine cuttings. It takes a bit of babying but well worth it when it takes off. My plant is already starting to shoot 6 more plants from the root system not counting what you see in this recent picture. I'd be more than happy to trade some cuttings this summer when this tiliacora is more established. Being Lao, and living in North Carolina is wonderful in the springtime because of the fresh wild bamboo shoots ( which makes yummy bamboo shoot soup!!!! ) The funny part is people are always happy you're harvesting their shoots (with permission) because it helps them control the grove on their property. It's a win win case :) |
