Description
Lygodium circinnatum is an evergreen, climbing fern with a short and creeping rhizome. It is locally known as ribu-ribu in Malay. Like other species of the same genus, this fern has an elongated climbing rachis (leaf stem). L. circinnatum reproduces by producing spores. It twines around other plants to get support and usually will climb up from the shade into a sunny position. It has many benefits and can be used as food, medicine and tying material (Huxley et al., 1992). Also, this plant can be grown as an ornamental for its ability to provide shade for other plants and cover unsightly structures. It is often found in slightly shaded places in primary or secondary forests from sea level to an altitude of 1,500 m. It is widely distributed in Australia, India, China, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Malaysia (Plants of the World Online, 2020).
