The FlowerCarrier Vine is a perennial plant that usually twines around tree trunks. The vines are about 5-6 meters long, with a grayish-white surface. The leaves are dark green, about 3-4 cm wide, elliptical in shape, and slightly thicker than ordinary leaves. When the vine is cut, you can see the marks of small sinews, and it quickly exudes clear water suitable for drinking. The FlowerCarrier Vine is a natural water壶, capable of spraying spring water to quench thirst. The stems and roots can be used as medicine, which can be harvested throughout the year, with leaves collected in summer and dried for later use. It has the effects of dispelling wind and removing dampness, as well as relaxing tendons and activating collaterals. It is commonly used for rheumatism, lumbar muscle strain, falls and injuries, and hemiplegia.
