Procris repens
Also called Rainbow Vine, Trailing Watermelon Begonia
Procris repens is a species of flowering plant in the nettle family, Urticaceae. It is commonly known as watermelon begonia or sisik naga, although the latter name may also refer various Pyrrosia species.
Procris repens is an interesting specimen to demonstrate the metamorphosis of chloroplasts (outward of cell) to amyloplasts (inward of cell) if studied with a microscope.
