藤とう本ほん

noun

climbing plant; liana

Botanical term for woody climbing plants, especially those that twine around trees. The gloss 'climbing trees' is a literal translation of the kanji but the word refers to the plant itself.

• 熱ねっ帯たい雨う林りんでは、藤とう本ほんが高こう木ぼくに絡からみついている。

  In tropical rainforests, lianas twine around tall trees.
