Binomial name
Agdestis clematidea

Moc. & Sessé ex DC.

Agdestis is a genus of flowering plants containing a single species Agdestis clematidea, a vine native to Florida, Texas, Mexico, and Central America.[1][2] Its common name rockroot refers to the large boulder-like root.[1]

## Taxonomy[edit]

Agdestis is usually placed in the Phytolaccaceae family.[3] Its classification is uncertain, however, as several studies of molecular phylogenetics have found it to be possibly the sister taxon of Sarcobatus, also of uncertain classification and often placed in its own family, Sarcobataceae.[4]
