Uvaria leichhardtii, commonly known as zig-zag vine, is a species of vine in the family Annonaceae. It is native to parts of Malesia, New Guinea, and the eastern Australia states of Queensland and New South Wales.[1][2]

The orange fruit, which can be found year round on the vine, has a pleasant piquant orange-sherbet flavour, and is used for sauces in gourmet dishes.
