is any herbaceous or woody plant with roots anchored to the ground and the rest of its body creeping or climbing with or without the help of tendrils, hooks and other clinging or grasping structures. Vines or climbers produce long yet flexible stems that make them suitable for novelty hand-made items that are popular in markets for native products. . abound in the tropical belt which is located between the tropical of Cancer at 23°27’N and the Tropic of Capricorn 23°27’S. In the Philippines, there are about 149 species, 101 genera and 41 families of useful forest vines (Brown 1920).

Data based on 0.1-ha area in lowland moist and wet forest sites
Lianas play an important role in forest dynamics:
providing canopy-to-canopy access for arboreal animals;
lianas also make a significant contribution to carbon sequestration.
