Combretum albidum is a large woody climbing shrub (liana) from the Indian subcontinent that climbs high into forest canopies. It is grown in the wild rather than as a garden plant, so care advice is mostly general and applies mainly to attempts in warm climates.
Combretum albidum is a species of woody climbing shrub in the family Combretaceae. It is native to the Indian subcontinent, including India and Sri Lanka, where it occurs in semi-evergreen, deciduous and riverine forests.
The species was first described by George Don in 1827 in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.
The species is distributed in India and Sri Lanka. In India it has been recorded from several regions including the Western Ghats, northeastern India, Odisha and parts of peninsular India.
