Epigynum auritum is a woody climber in the dogbane family (Apocynaceae), native to wet tropical forests of southern China, northeast India, mainland Southeast Asia and Peninsular Malaysia. It is a scrambling vine grown in warm, humid, shaded or lightly lit conditions rather than a common houseplant.
Epigynum auritum is a plant species in the genus Epigynum. It is native to Yunnan Province in China, as well as Assam State in India, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), and the Peninsular region of Malaysia.
The flavanol epigeoside (Catechin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside) can be isolated from the rhizomes of E. auritum.
