Gynura procumbens (also known as sabuñgai or sambung nyawa[2][3]), sometimes called "longevity spinach" or "longevity greens", is an edible vine found in China, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Leaves are ovate-elliptic or lanceolate, 3.5 to 8 centimetres (1+13 to 3+16 in) long, and 0.8 to 3.5 centimetres (13 to 1+13 in) wide. Flowering heads are panicled, narrow, yellow, and 1 to 1.5 centimetres (13 to 23 in) long.[4][5] The plant grows wild but is also cultivated as a vegetable or medicinal plant. Its young leaves are used for cooking, such as with meat and prawns in a soup.[6]
