Ampelocissus abyssinica is a large climbing vine native to southeast Ethiopia, where it is known in the Afaan Oromo language by the name teru (also the name for a part of that country), and is used as a herbal treatment for the medical condition known as black leg.

[1][2] Its first botanical description was in 1847 as Vitis abyssinica,[3] that name being the basionym for its treatment here under the genus Ampelocissus.
