SuppleJack,
Flagellaria indica
-
Also called ‘Whip Vine’, this is
a fast and vigorous climber with a round, cane-like stem and long leaves.
-
The long leaves are unusual as
their tips have been modified into tendrils to enable the plant to curl its
way through the canopy.
-
It is found in mangroves and
forests in eastern and the wetter tropical areas of the old world tropics, and
is common in places such as along the Marrdja boardwalk.
