Monkey’s Comb (Amphilophium crucigerum), also known as Liana de Macaco, is a fast-growing vine belonging to the Bignoniaceae family. It is recognized for its distinctive seed pods that resemble a monkey’s comb, as well as its vibrant trumpet-shaped flowers. Pods split open when mature, releasing flat, winged seeds that disperse by wind.
