Nissolia vincentina is a twining tropical vine in the pea family, native from southern Mexico through Central America to South America. It is a wild climber rather than a commonly grown garden plant, so care notes are mostly general.
Nissolia vincentina has no English name, though all Nissolia species can be called yellowhoods. It is a vine native to Tropical America. It belongs to the family Fabaceae.
Nissolia vincentina inhabits disjunct populations, occurring in the tropical parts of southern Mexico, including the Yucatan Peninsula, in the Caribbean in the Dominican Republic, in Central America in Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and in South America in Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil.
