Identifying a Houseplant?

Identifying a Houseplant - closeup of leavesI got this plant today at a farmer's market. It is an indoor vine (and I was told that it will flower). The leaves are always in threes (reminds me of poison ivy). Any idea what this could be?

if it flowers in white it might be a Pothos

It could be an anthurium: www.artscapeplants.com/.../anthurium.jpg

I don't think it is pothos or anthurium, the leaves don't look like either of them. I think it might be a black-eyed Susan vine (Thunbergia). I bought one last weekend and it looks a lot like that. I planted mine outdoors though and the leaves are a little different.

You will get flowers soon and those will make it easier to identify. Or go back to the farmer's market next weekend and ask.

On second thought, I don't think it is the black-eyed Susan either. The leaves are too different. Another idea is the sweet potato vine.

I agree with Jess that you may have to wait until it blooms to accurately ID this plant. It looks like it may be in the moonflower family to me but leaves of three? not too sure about that.

Well - I have just looked at my sweet potato vines and although they are still young plants, the leaves are in groups of three and do look very similar. Still not sure about this but maybe we are getting close.
