Pothos scandens[1] is a climbing tropical forest plant in the family Araceae.[2][3] It is the type species of the genus Pothos. No subspecies are recorded in the Catalogue of Life.[2]
The distribution of P. scandens is: Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China (Yunnan), Comoros, India (including Andaman and Nicobar Islands), Indonesia (Java, Kalimantan, Maluku, Nusa Tenggara, Sumatera), Laos, Madagascar, Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah), Myanmar, Philippines, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. In Vietnamese it is called tràng phao dây or ráy leo.
DIAGNOSTIC
Pothos scandens is unmistakable in its typical aspect, carrying rather small inflorescences on bent peduncles. Each types of pothos has it own DIAGNOSTIC. However, the species is highly variable. Some populations comprise high-climbing plants bearing tiny inflorescences (Beusekom & Smitinand 2150, Geesink et al. 7250, Larsen et al. 44267 and Smitinand 2959 are representative of this element). Other populations (collections include e.g. Phusomsaeng 188, Larsen 9524, Kasin 366) produce rather large inflorescences not exhibiting the bent peduncle until very late anthesis or during early infructescence development.
HABITAT
On trees and rocks in primary and secondary wet to dry lowland to hill evergreen tropical to subtropical forest, occasionally on sea cliffs, in hedges or scrub or in coconut plantations, on a variety of substrates including clay, limestone and granite.
USE
In China the plants are used as blood coagulant, principally for wounds; fruits and leaves made into a compress [Keenan et al. 3281 (GH)].
