The JC's Vine, which has only been recorded in four locations in the Philippines and in the world, is now in bloom at the Masungi Georeserve in Rizal."The first batch has already flowered, and more will bloom next month," it added, noting the rare vine can be spotted along the Discovery Trail and Legacy Trail inside the Masungi Geopark Project rewilding initiative.The JC’s Vine was discovered by Annalee S. Hadsall, Michelle D.R. Alejado, Ariel R. Larona, and Ivy Amor F.
The name of the genus was derived from the Greek words"strongylos" and"odontos" , alluding to its"spherical teeth."The endemic species is notable for its"plagiotropic dense inflorescence with 27 to 31 flowers per cluster on a lateral branch," Masungi noted.The woody vine may grow up to 18 meters long and thrives in a disturbed secondary-growth forest at 295 meters in altitude, climbing atop a huge tree.
"The Masungi Georeserve Foundation continues to call on decision-makers and the public to help protect the ecologically important landscape," it said.
