This book has been completely rewritten, while keeping the essentials of the format of Rainforest Trees and Shrubs (Williams, Harden & McDonald 2006) using features of leaves and, in this case, climbing mechanisms. Species are subgrouped within groups with species that have similar climbing mechanisms and leaf characteristics.
