amydriumamydrium
genusgenusTropical climbing vines characterized by their elongated, glossy leaves that often develop distinctive perforations as they mature. These forest dwellers use their aerial roots to climb up host trees while maintaining a relatively compact growth pattern.
Etymology
The name 'Amydrium' comes from the Greek word 'amydros,' meaning 'dim' or 'faint,' possibly referring to the subtle patterns or markings found on some species' leaves.
Interesting fact!
Unlike many other climbing plants, they maintain their juvenile leaf form much longer, only developing their signature holes and splits after reaching a considerable height in their natural habitat.
