Stictocardia beraviensis is a species of rapidly growing perennial vining plant in the family Convolvulaceae.[2][1] It is native to West Africa and Madagascar and widely cultivated elsewhere for its soft, cordate leaves and attractive red flowers.[3][4][5] It is commonly called Hawaiian bell vine although this is a misnomer as it is in reality not native to Hawaii.
