Tiliacora acuminata is a large woody climbing shrub or liana native to the Indian Subcontinent and Indo-China[1][2]. It grows in wet tropical biomes and is found in countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Vietnam, and the West Himalayas. The plant, also known as Tapering-Leaf Tiliacora, can reach heights of 5-8 meters and has ovate to lance-shaped leaves that are hairless and larger on male plants[3][4]. Its inflorescences are axillary, stalked racemose cymes with small, yellow flowers, and it produces oblong-ovoid to obovoid drupes[5].
