|discussion=<p><i>Anredera cordifolia</i> is sometimes cultivated as an ornamental, and it escapes and naturalizes in subtropical to subtemperate regions (C. R. Sperling 1987). In many floristic treatments, it has been confused with A. baselloides (Kunth) Baillon, a species restricted to Ecuador and Peru. Fruit- and seed-set are rare in cultivated material; tubers are the main means by which Madeira- vine is propagated (C. R. Sperling 1987).</p>
