Stauntonia coriacea, commonly known as blue china vine, is an evergreen liana indigenous to temperate east Asia. The leaves have a waxy texture. It produces white monoecious flowers followed by pink-colored sausage-shaped fruits with white-colored pulp. The fruits are, technically, berries. They ripen and drop during autumn.
