Bread and cheese (Paullinia)

Bread and cheese

Bread and cheese features woody vines famed for their compound leaves, often with five leaflets, and their tendency to climb. Small, clustered flowers bloom, giving way to capsule-like fruits that sometimes open explosively to disperse seeds. These adaptations allow bread and cheese to thrive in the diverse, competitive environments of tropical forests, where light and space are at a premium.
