Vinca (from
Latin vincire "to bind, fetter") is a genus of five species in the family
Apocynaceae, native to
Europe, northwest
Africa and southwest
Asia. The common name, shared with the related genus
Catharanthus, is Periwinkle.They are
subshrubs or
herbaceous, and have slender trailing stems 1-2 m (3-6 feet) long but not growing more than 20-70 cm (8-30 inches) above ground; the stems frequently take root where they touch the ground, enabling the plant to spread widely. The
leaves are opposite, simple broad lanceolate to ovate, 1-9 cm (0.25-3.5 inches) long and 0.5-6 cm (0.25-2.25 inches) broad; they are
evergreen in four species, but
deciduous in the herbaceous
V. herbacea, which dies back to the root system in winter.
