Callisia repens, also known as creeping inchplant or Turtle Vine, is a succulent creeping plant from the family Commelinaceae. This species comes from Central and South America. The perennial plant forms creeping mats. The flowering shoots are ascending. The fleshy, delicate leaves grow smaller towards the tip of the shoot. The leaf blade is oval to lanceolate. It grows quickly, and multiplies easily by long, creeping shoots that root in each node, as soon as it is on the ground.
