Calycopteris

Calycopteris is a climbing shrub, notable for its winged seeds and papery bracts that enhance seed dispersal by wind. The leaves are broad, often heart-shaped, aiding in maximizing sunlight absorption in dense forest understories. Adapted to humid environments, its vigorous climbing habit allows it to reach light by ascending on larger trees.
