#climbing plant
- Abobra genus — A monotypic taxonomic genus of perennial climbing plants in the family Cucurbitaceae, whose sole recognized species is Abobra tenuifolia (commonly known as the cranberry gourd). Native to South America (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay), it is partially cultivated in European greenhouses or botanical gardens as an ornamental plant due to its fine foliage and intense red spherical fruits at maturity.
- Adlumia fungosa — A climbing, biennial herbaceous plant species, the primary representative of the genus Adlumia in the family Fumariaceae, native to the wooded and rocky areas of North America. It is characterized by divided, fern-like leaves and pendulous inflorescences with delicate, elongated or spongy flowers, with colors ranging from pale pink to white.
- Hanger loop — A small piece of fabric, strap, cord, metallic ring, or loop fixed onto a garment, towel, or household object to allow it to be suspended on a nail or rack; as a feminine adjective (especially in botany), it describes a plant (such as ivy or grapevine) that climbs by securing itself to an external support using tendrils or adventitious roots.
- Ampelopsis — A genus of deciduous, ornamental, and perennial climbing woody vines in the grape family (Vitaceae), native to East Asia and North America, closely related to the grapevine. These vines possess tendrils without adhesive discs and lobed or compound leaves, being widely used in horticulture to cover walls, pergolas, or fences due to the spectacular autumn colors of their foliage.
- Anisostichus — An obsolete botanical genus or taxonomic synonym historically used to classify climbing plants of the Bignoniaceae family, primarily represented by the species Anisostichus capreolata (officially known today as Bignonia capreolata or Crossvine). It is a vigorous, woody climbing vine native to North America, characterized by tendrils with adhesive pads and spectacular trumpet-shaped, orange-red or yellow flowers.
- Antigonon — A genus of herbaceous or woody climbing plants in the buckwheat family, Polygonaceae, native to tropical and subtropical areas of the Americas (especially Mexico); it includes species widely used in ornamental horticulture due to their abundant clusters of flowers.
- Argyreia tiliifolia — A species of climbing plant, a vigorous liana in the genus Argyreia, family Convolvulaceae, distributed across the tropical regions of South and Southeast Asia, including India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This liana is characterized by large, suborbicular or ovate leaves, strongly cordate at the base, resembling the shape of linden (Tilia) leaves, and by pink or purple funnel-shaped flowers, adapting excellently to the edges of moist tropical forests and along watercourses.
- Aristolochia brasiliensis — An exotic species of perennial climbing plant in the Aristolochiaceae family, native to the wild flora of Brazil. It is remarkable for its vegetative vigor and gigantic, bilobed, purplish-brown flowers with yellow markings, which emit an unpleasant, fetid odor designed to attract flies for pollination. Due to its unusual ornamental appearance, it is used in tropical landscaping, though it retains the toxic profile characteristic of the genus.
- Asparagus verticillatus — The scientific name of an herbaceous perennial plant in the family Asparagaceae, commonly known in Romania as 'umbra-iepurelui'; it is a vigorous climbing or scrambling species, distributed spontaneously across xerophytic forests, thickets, and edges of Southeastern Europe and Western Asia, characterized by cladodes grouped in dense whorls along long stems and spherical red berries.
