Ampelocissus gracilipes, also known as Abourbee (Akan-Twi), is a climbing vine or liana in the Grape family of tropical western Africa (Ghana to Liberia), in densely vegetative, forested areas. The stems which are semi-woody, thick and sturdy, but not very hard, start out with a dense covering of washy-brown hairs, giving way over time to a complexion of small warts. Both flowers and fruits are red.
