    The enclosed picture was taken at the Botanical garden in Kandy, Sri Lanka
    ( a wonderful place to visit).
    I was told it was a Flat vine, Liana Pus by our guide, but am not entirely convinced.
    Can anyone confirm this or suggest the proper name if this is wrong
    Many thanks
    Arthur

    Any woody vine is a liana, it is a mode of growth rather than a kind of plant. There's alot more than 50 species of woody vines.
