Cassytha filiformis

Cassytha filiformis or love-vine is an orangish, wiry, parasitic vine in the family Lauraceae.

Cassytha filiformis is a twining vine with yellow or orange to pale green hollow stems with a length between 3–8 metres long.

Each one has smooth (glabrous) and broad stamens with short pointy ends forming into a beak shape.

[7][5] In the Malay Peninsula, the stems are dried and powdered to make a liquid substance to stimulate hair growth.

[7] Pregnant women in Polynesia drink juice from the vines for 4 weeks before their babies' due date to reduce pains giving birth.
