. Edible and poisonous plants of the Caribbean region . 54. Wild Grape Vitis tiliifolia The small wild grapes are edible but very sour. Of more importance is the fact that the thick stems may be tapped for their abundant sap which constitutes a rather satisfactory and perfectly safe substitute for water. This vine is common in Central America and the West Indies, particularly in bushy places or forests. The fruit is almost exactly like the wrild grape of the United States. Other names for it are: uva, uva de monte, parra cimarrona, bejuco de agua.
