I bought this plant yesterday from the Plant market in Pattaya.

It was very expensive but it is beautiful. The man told me it was 70 years old and is known as Borapet Pung Chang. Something like Elephants stomach. I can find it on a Thai site but its all in Thai. I need to know the correct name so I can find out what it needs to thrive. Any help I will be very grateful.post-39895-0-07791900-1300593740_thumb.j

This is a member of the family Menispermaceae, the genus is certainly Stephania, the species may be tuberosa. At least S.tuberosa ist very similar, but there exist more than 60 Stephania species and some of them may be very similar, I don't know... The English name is unknown to me...
