Hypserpa is a genus belonging to the Menispermaceae family, distinguished by its twining vine or liana form. The vine’s capacity to climb, entwining around trees or structures, suggests adaptability to various light environments, enhancing its competitive edge in dense, forested habitats. Morphologically, it features distinctively shaped leaves and bears clusters of small, often inconspicuous flowers, followed by colorful drupes that are attractive to various bird species, aiding in seed dispersal.
