毬蘭,毬蘭,您看它是不是花序像顆球,花姿像朵蘭呢?事實上,毬蘭和我們一般常說的蘭花,沒什麼關係,它是蘿摩科的纏繞藤本植物,葉對生,肉質,橢圓形;聚繖花序呈繖形排列,花冠肉質或臘質。。毬蘭分布於台灣全島低海拔之森林內,常攀於岩石或樹幹上,開花時猶如一顆顆繡球垂掛,相當討喜。 Plants climbing. Stems terete, usually rooting along stem. Leaves opposite; blades elliptic, fleshy. Inflorescences many-flowered umbel; corolla 5-lobed. Distributed in India, southern China, and Japan. Taiwan: climbing on rocks and trees throughout the island at low elevations.
