Fockea multiflora, or python vine, is a plant of the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, native to Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Angola, Botswana, Namibia, including the Caprivi Strip,[1][2][3] and Malawi.

[4][5] It is a large semisucculent liana, growing to some 15m in length and up to 60 cm in diameter, found primarily in the seasonally dry tropical biome.

[1][2] The genus Fockea comprises six species belonging to the Asclepiadoideae (milkweeds) subfamily of the Apocynaceae family.

[2][4] In mature plants the rootstock consists of a network of fleshy roots radiating from the base of the stem.

[2][4] Leaves are opposite, broadly elliptic to ovate, large (100mm x 80mm), with grey-felted undersides, felty to smooth above.
