Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Marcgravia sp is a climbing crawling vine to epiphyte that starts off with small slender leaves that shingle as it climbs to the surface it is attached to. Once it reaches mature size the leaves hang back off the surface and looks a bit more like a Hoya. The flowers are very odd as well, personally a cross between a Hoya and a passionflower come to mind. An rare oddity in any collection. Plants are often grown for terrariums, keeping them small and from climbing too high. I know of only 2 sources for the plant and one is a botanical garden with a mature plant that I have seen flower once.
