Tiliacora acuminata is a large woody climbing shrub or liana native to the Indian Subcontinent and Indo-China. It grows in wet tropical biomes and is found in countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Vietnam, and the West Himalayas. The plant, also known as Tapering-Leaf Tiliacora, can reach heights of 5–8 meters and has ovate to lance-shaped leaves that are hairless and larger on male plants. Its inflorescences are axillary, stalked racemose cymes with small, yellow flowers, and it produces oblong-ovoid to obovoid drupes.
