Ceanothus asiaticus L.[1] Colubrina asiatica is a shrub in the family Rhamnaceae that is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World, from eastern Africa to India, southeast Asia, tropical Australia, and the Pacific Islands.

Colubrina asiatica has a vine-like growth habit, sending out multiple stems that can reach 9 m (30 ft) in length.

The branches have simple, alternate, glossy, ovate and acuminate leaves, 3.7–13.7 cm (1.5–5.4 in) long, with several prominent veins.

Seeds float and are tolerant to salt water, which allows the species to spread across oceans.

In Florida in the United States, Colubrina asiatica is an invasive species, capable of displacing native plants and altering the ecosystem.
