	Ripogonum Scandens ''Ripogonum scandens'', (commonly known as supplejack, Māori: kareao, pirita, translated as ''"twisted rope"'') is a common rainforest vine native to New Zealand. It can also grow in areas of swamp. Supplejack is a climbing liana, that has hard but flexible stems. It starts its life as a sappy stem searching for a support. Once it finds a shrub or tree to cling onto, it grows upwards to access sunlight, where it then develops branches and leaves. The supplejack flowers from December to February. It however bears clusters of red berries throughout the year. During summer supplejack tips grow 5 centimetres a day, enabling the plant to climb high up into the canopy of the forest. Taxonomy In 1769, during explorer Lieutenant James Cook's first voyage of discovery, botanists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander collected specimens of "supplejack" (''Ripogonum scandens'') in New Zealand. The species was described in Solander's unpublished manuscript ''Primitiae Florae Novae Zelandi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Ripogonaceae ''Ripogonum'' (sometimes ''Rhipogonum'') is a genus of flowering plants confined to eastern Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea. Until recently this genus was included in the family Smilacaceae, and earlier in the family Liliaceae, but it has now been separated as its own family Ripogonaceae (sometimes Rhipogonaceae). Like most species of the closely related Smilacaceae, most species of ''Ripogonum'' are woody vines. Differences from Smilacaceae include that ''Ripogonum'' lacks stipules, it has a wet rather than dry stigma, its seeds and leaves contain starch, and its guard cells contain oil. Description The six species of ''Ripogonum'' are perennials, either vines or shrubs. The leaves, which may have several different arrangements, lack stipules. The stems may have prickles. The Australian species are bisexual; others are unisexual. Individual flowers have six white to pale green or yellow tepals. The ovary has three locules with two ovules per locule. The fruit is a ber ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Supplejack Tree ''Ventilago viminalis'', commonly known as supplejack, vine tree or whip vine, is a tree native to Northern and Central Australia from coastal regions of Queensland to the Northern Territory and Western Australia (with occurrences in New South Wales and South Australia). Description The plant begins life as a scrambler, using other trees, shrubs and even grasses for support. As it ages the stem becomes increasingly woody and the plant eventually develops a growth form more typical of a tree. The tree can reach 7 metres in height and often has several trunks with pendulous branch extremities. The bark is dark and fissured. The leaves have petioles and are green and lanceolate. The flowers are small and greenish yellow. Flowering season varies depending on rainfall. The fruits are indehiscent and have a single prominent longitudinal wing. Taxonomy It was first described by William Jackson Hooker in 1848. The species epithet, viminalis, is a Latin adjective describing the ...

	Flagellaria Indica ''Flagellaria indica'' is a climbing plant found in many of the tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World, India, Bangladesh, Southeast Asia, Polynesia, and Australia. A strong climber, it grows often up to tall, with thick cane-like stems exceeding in diameter. Its leaves, without hairs, are long, and wide. A coiled apex of the leaf forms the holding part of the climbing plant. Fragrant white flowers form in panicles, long. The fruit is inedible. The globose drupes are red when mature, in diameter, usually with only one seed. Because of its wide distribution, many local common names are used, such as whip vine, hell tail, supplejack, false rattan, and bush cane.
