Description

Cat's Claw is a liana deriving its name from hook-like thorns that resemble the claws of a cat. Cat's Claw can grow to a length of up to 30 m (100 ft), climbing by means of these thorns. The leaves are elliptic with a smooth edge and grow in opposing pairs.

Cat's claw is indigenous to the Amazon rainforest, with its habitat being restricted primarily to the tropical areas of South and Central America.
