<em>Rhoicissus tridentata</em> is a woody climbing plant in the family Vitaceae, order Vitales, commonly known as the common forest grape or bushman's grape. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. <em>Rhoicissus tridentata</em> is native to sub-Saharan Africa, where it typically grows in forest margins, thickets, rocky outcrops, and riverine woodlands.
