Assam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Java, Laos, Lesser Sunda Islands, Malaya, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka and
Vietnam, growing in a well drained rich soil with
some water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow to five centimetres in diameter, the entire plant

The genera from Latin tīna;

for the fruits. The species name means 'curled closely, crested' for
the vines. |
