    Here is another plant that seems to be growing off a host tree. The vines or tendrils are six meters long or more. Is it another Gnetum but with alternate instead of opposite leaves?

    The flowers look like Senecio. Google on "senecio"+"liana" returns at least four: S. scandens, S. tamoides, S. angulatus, S. mikanioides. Probably there are more of them.
