Tylophora linearis
Vincetoxicum forsteri (also known as Tylophora linearis) is a slender, clear-sapped twining vine from eastern Australia that grows in dry open forest and scrub. It is seldom grown in gardens, so care advice is general and based on its dry-habitat needs.
Vincetoxicum forsteri is a species of plant in the dogbane family Apocynaceaethat is endemic to Australia (New South Wales and Queensland). It was first described by Paul Irwin Forster in 1992 as Tylophora linearis.
The species is known from the Dubbo and Barraba areas of New South Wales and Glenmorgan in Queensland, where it grows in open forest, woodlands and dry scrub, in association with Melaleuca uncinata, Eucalyptus fibrosa, E. sideroxylon, E. albens, Callitris endlicheri, C. glaucophylla, Allocasuarina luehmannii, Acacia hakeoides, A. lineata, Myoporum spp., and Casuarina spp.
