The results show no evidence of a bimodal distribution of vessel lengths as observed for lianas and several other species. |
When they reach the top of the canopy they often spread to other trees or wrap themselves around other lianas. |
They are generally considered to be small, scrambling lianas or possibly shrubs. |
Once exposed to full sunlight at the top of the canopy, lianas often flower and fruit prolifically. |
Most representatives are lianas, while climbing shrubs and small trees can also be found. |
Some of the leaves documented in this selection were from lianas grown in this way. |
