Diplocyclos palmatus is a vine in the family Cucurbitaceae. It is commonly known as native bryony or striped cucumber.[1] In Marathi, it is called shivlingi due to its seed which resembles a lingam.

Distribution[]

The plant is a rich source of medicinal drugs with a consequent global anthropogenic distribution in rainforests and dry rainforests (Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests) habitats. The vine grows in thickets, monsoon forests, lowland and upland disturbed areas, and mountain rain forest.[1]
