B. glabra is located in the tropical climates of countries such as Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Ecuador, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia and Guayana, while being introduced to Sri Lanka.

[3] This species is a climber meaning that it has a weak, very thin and long stem that spreads out of other trees for support.

[4] It grows in tropical areas and shows optimal growth under full sun exposure.

Therefore, its habitats include most areas in South America, Peru, India, and similar regions.

Hunters collect the vine and crush it, making it into a tincture (the extract if the plant dissolved into ethanol) and adding it to a "snake bottle", as a traditional treatment for snakebites.
