- To Your Knowledge
- Argyreia populifolia is a climbing shrub belonging to the family Convolvulaceae (the morning glory or bindweed family).
- Here’s what’s known about it:
- Taxonomy: Its scientific name is Argyreia populifolia Choisy. However, it’s often considered a synonym of Argyreia kleiniana (Schult.) Raizada by many taxonomic authorities, including Plants of the World Online (Kew Science).
- Distribution: It is endemic to Sri Lanka
- Characteristics:
- It’s a climbing shrub, with stems that can be herbaceous at the tips and woody near the base.
- Leaves are typically broadly ovate, cordate (heart-shaped) at the base, and can be glabrous (smooth) or sparsely hairy on the upper surface, and densely pubescent (hairy) below.
- Flowers are often found in dense, many-flowered cymes, and are described as funnel-shaped and pinkish-white or delicate mauve-purple.
- Fruits are globose berries, typically yellow when mature.
- Traditional Uses (in Sri Lankan traditional medicine):
- Young leaves are eaten as a vegetable to help with constipation and improve appetite.
- The juice of young shoots is applied to gums for oral hygiene.
- Roots are used in the treatment of swellings and dog bites.
- Chemical Constituents: Research has identified compounds like triterpenes (friedelin derivatives), cinnamic acid esters, and β-sitosterol from its fruits.

Common/Local Names (especially in Sri Lanka):
Girithilla (ගිරිතිල්ල): This is the most common and widely recognized Sinhala name for Argyreia populifolia in Sri Lanka. You’ll find this name frequently in traditional medicine texts and among local communities.
Spotted Heart: Sometimes used as an English common name, likely referring to the leaf shape.
Morning Glory: A very general common name for plants in the Convolvulaceae family, so it can apply to Argyreia populifolia but is not exclusive to it.
Tamba Vine: Another occasional English common name.
Sri Lankan Elephant Creeper: This name might be used to differentiate it from other “elephant creeper” species like Argyreia nervosa.
Sindu kodi (සින්දු කෝඩි): A Tamil name sometimes associated with it.
