Cercestis mirabilis
African Embossed Cercestis
Morphology
About
Cercestis mirabilis is an extraordinary climbing liana native to the humid tropical forests of West and Central Africa, from Benin to Uganda and Angola. It grows in shaded understory to lower canopy conditions. The juvenile leaves display a striking, intricate pale reticulate venation and interveinal silvery-white markings on deeply sagittate blades. As the plant climbs and matures, the leaves become larger, greener, and more hastate or shallowly lobed, with reduced variegation. The stems are slender but robust, climbing trunks with aerial roots.

Market Analysis & Price Guide
Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
