About

Anthodon decussatus is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae, and the sole species in genus Anthodon. It is a large woody climbing vine (liana) native to Costa Rica and Panama in Central America and northern and Amazonian South America to Bolivia, Paraguay, and southeastern Brazil. They are scattered throughout most of the Neotropics, but are not common in any part of their range. They grow in wet forests from 100 m to 900 m in elevation. There is no known use of these vines by humans.
