List of longest vines

Last updated

This list of longest vines features vine species that can grow very long or vine specimens that are the longest in the world. This list is not all-inclusive in part because many species have never been measured, and also because more careful measurements are needed for many species on this list. Some species have been included because they are the largest of a habit type (such as Poison Oak as longest root climber) or as the longest member of their division or phylum (such as Equisetum giganteum).

Contents

A vine can refer to any plant with a growth habit of trailing or scandent (that is, climbing) stems or runners. The first five species are unlikely to be superseded or even to change order of rank.

World's longest vines

Species and familyLocationLengthComments
The Snuff Box Sea Bean, or Elephant Creeper (Entada phaseoloides). (Mimosaceae).Found throughout tropical Asia and the Pacific. This individual apparently in India.4,900 feet (1.5 km) estimate. [1] [ better source needed ]This species can also be up to three feet (0.91 meters) thick and is therefore also one of the most massive of vines, and for that matter of all plants.[ citation needed ]
Ribbon Vine ( Bauhinia rubiginosa) (Caesalpinaceae)This specimen in Suriname.1,968 feet (600 meters) [2] [ better source needed ] Ivan T. Sanderson, writing earlier, says only "several hundred yards". Sanderson believed these Suriname giants were the most massive plants on earth. [3] He saw one vine that was two feet (61 cm) wide while being only 3/4th inch (1.8 cm) thick. [4] Thus the common name.
Philodendron sp. (probably Philodendron cordatum ) (Araceae).Native to Central America. This one in Amherst, Massachusetts.1,114 feet (340 meters) in 1984. [5] The longest monocot. It also weighed 250 pounds (110 kg). It is unknown whether it could grow this long or this heavy in the wild.
Rattan Manau ( Calamus manan , or Calamus ornatus (Palmae, or Arecaceae) East Indies. This one at the Buitenzorg (now Bogor) Botanic Gardens, Java, Indonesia.787 feet (240 m) exactly. The longest exact measurement. [6] [7] [8] Vines are up to four inches (10 cm) thick. There are unconfirmed reports of rattans up to 1,800 feet (550 m) in length. [9] C. manan also has a ten-foot (three meter) long flagellum, or spiney grasping organ at the end of each frond. [10] These are not true tendrils since they cannot twine.
Rotan Simambu ( Calamus scipionum ) [Palmae, or Arecaceae]. Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo.Exactly 599 feet (183 meters) to the point where it was severed. [11] Upper reaches could not be recovered, but the total length was certainly well in excess of 600 feet (180 meters).Naturalist/writer Philip H. Gosse stated that he had seen a rattan (species not indicated) "no thicker than your finger" which was 1,320 feet (400 meters) in length. [12]
Sea Hearts, Monkey Ladder or St. Thomas Creeper ( Entada gigas ) (Mimosaceae).Found throughout Neotropics. This one in Jamaica.At least 450 feet (140 meters). [13] Seedpods of E. gigas up to eight feet (2.4 meters) long and divided into segments like a Beggartick as against five feet (1.5 meters) and undivided for E. phaseoloides. E. gigas has heart-shaped seeds while those of E. phaseoloides are round or rounded rectangular. [14] In spite of these differences, both species are frequently lumped as "E. scandens". The stem of this species can measure up to 3' 2" thick (three meters girth). [15]
Chinese Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis [16] ) (Papilionaceae).Native to China. This one in Sierra Madre, California.About 500 feet (about 150 meters). [17] [18] [19] Largest Wisteria in the world. Weighs about 22 tons. Trunk about three feet (0.91 meters) thick. Another Wisteria, a W. multijuga at Ushi Jima (or Usijima) Japan was stated in 1929 to be 1,100 years of age (but now pegged at 1200 years); probably the oldest vine of any species in the world. [20] [21] This wisteria is also famous for its pendant racemes which are up to seven feet (2.1 meters) in length. [22] Another W. multijuga at Ashikaga, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan has a trunk five feet (1.5 meters) thick on its greater axis by about three feet (0.9 meter) on the lesser axis, [23] probably the thickest vine of any species.
Entada rheedii [Mimosaceae] Tropical Africa and eastward to Queensland.About 394 feet ( "At least 120 meters") [24] .
"May Chio" Calamus rudentum (Palmae, or Arecaceae)Rainforests of Vietnam and Cambodia.This rattan is up to 330 feet (100 meters) in length. [25] Stems are about four inches (ten centimeters) thick.
Camel's Foot Climber, or Maloo ( Bauhinia vahlii ) Caesalpinaceae. Himalayan foothills.About 300 feet (91 meters). [26] Also up to a meter (3.25 feet) thick. [27] Among the most massive of vines.
"Jungle Chocolate" or "Malombo" ( Landolphia mannii ) Apocynaceae.Congo Brazzaville Over 330 feet ("More than 100 meters") [28] Stem a foot thick near the base.
"Wanwe" (Dinochloa andamanica) (Gramineae, or Poaceae) Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands south of Burma.295 feet (90 meters) [29] One of the few vining bamboo species, and the longest bamboo culm.
Dragon Fruit Selenicereus sp. Cactaceae. Central America and southern Mexico.330 feet (100 meters). [30]
Embelia pergamina (Myrsinaceae).Mountains of Java.Up to 250 feet (76 meters). [31] Some classifications now place Embelia in the Primula Family (Primulaceae).
Common Grape Vine. Vitis vinifera (Vitaceae) Europe and the Middle East.246 feet (75 meters). [32] Vine's trunk 12' 5" (3.8 meters) girth. Planted 1768.
"Giant Pepper Vine" ( Piper novae-hollandiae ) (Piperaceae). Queensland rainforest, Australia.230 feet (70 meters). [33] Stem up to sixteen inches (41 cm) thick. [34]
"The Giant Kelp" ( Macrocystis pyrifera ) (Laminariaceae).The Pacific coasts of the Americas plus New Zealand, Tasmania and, in the Atlantic, around the Falkland Islands.230 feet (70 meters). [35] Longest member of the Kelp division or phylum (Phaeophycophyta), and longest aquatic vine. This specimen also weighed 308 pounds (140 kg). [36]
Triphyophyllum peltatum (Dioncophyllaceae).Tropical West Africa.Up to 230 feet (70 meters). [37] [38] This is the most massive carnivorous plant known, being thicker and woodier than Nepenthes.
Vanilla Orchid ( Vanilla planifolia ) (Orchidaceae).Southern Mexico, Central America, northern South America, the West Indies and Florida.Between 200 and 300 feet (between 61 and 91 meters). [39] [40] Longest of the 18,000 (lumper estimate) to 35,000 (splitter estimate) species of orchids, and the second longest herbaceous vine. Stem is about three-quarters inch (19 mm) thick.
"Shicsi Huaiu" ( Gnetum leyboldii) (Gnetaceae). Central America. This one at the Finca la Selva Reserve, Costa Rica.Climbing to the top of a 170-foot (52-meter) emergent tree; its total length probably around 200 feet (61 meters). [41] This is the longest Gymnosperm vine (division or phyllum Gymnophyta). The stem was as thick as the finder's thigh.
Mullerochloa moreheadiana Gramineae or Poaceae Queensland rainforests.Up to two hundred feet (sixty meters) [42] Another lianous bamboo.
