Hablitzia tamnoides, the sole species in the genus Hablitzia, is a herbaceous perennial plant, native to the Caucasus region. It is in the familiy Amaranthaceae, subfamily Chenopodioideae, related to Beta, but unlike that genus, is a vine, climbing to 3 m or more tall in summer.[1][2][1]
The leaves are edible, similar to those of the related spinach.[2]
