About

Loeseneriella barbata, commonly known as knot vine, is a climbing plant in the family Celastraceae found in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. It was first described in 1859 and its tendrils form distinctive "knots" around its supports.

Where it grows

The knot vine occurs in two widely separated populations in eastern parts of Queensland and northeastern New South Wales. The northern population is found from the top of Cape York Peninsula south to about Ayr. The southern population begins at Rockhampton, about 530 km (330 mi) south of Ayr, and continues into the far northern corner of New South Wales to about Grafton.
