Dischidia vidalii, commonly known as ant plant or kangaroo pocket, is a plant in the frangipani family Apocynaceae native to the Philippines. It is a climbing plant with clusters of pink or magenta flowers. Like some other species in the genus — e.g. Dischidia major — and in the related genus Hoya, this species has evolved a symbiotic relationship with ants. In addition to small, oval leaves the plant develops significantly larger, hollow leaves where additional roots grow, and these leaves are colonised by ants.
