Cissus paniculata
My first and only encounter of this species of vine on Socotra. A large and vital specimen, growing in the cracks of a vertical cliff by a creek where it was partly hanging, partly climbing. It is a shady and moist location, sheltered by the sun most of the day. Elevation: 240 meters. Endemic.
