Vincetoxicum auriculatum, synonym Cynanchum auriculatum, is a climbing vine native to the montane forests and shrublands of temperate and tropical Asia, specifically in regions of China, Bhutan, Nepal, and northern parts of Pakistan and India. It thrives at elevations between 9186 to 11811 feet, where it often climbs on other vegetation to reach sunlight. This vine is deciduous and can grow vigorously.

Vincetoxicum auriculatum has a twining growth habit and produces small, inconspicuous flowers that may be of interest to certain pollinators. In cultivation, it is valued for its ability to cover trellises and arbors quickly, providing dense foliage and shade. It requires well-drained soil and can grow in both full sun and part shade. While not commonly used in gardens, it can be employed for quick coverage in appropriate areas. Gardeners should manage its growth to prevent it from spreading beyond the intended area.CC BY-SA 4.0
