Cat's claw

or Uncaria tomentosa is a powerful Peruvian vine with an incredible length of 20-30 meters. You can also come across its other name - Cat's claw, which it earned due to its hooked thorns. With these "claws", the plant clings to the bark of trees and climbs them up. Vilcacore thrives in the Amazon rainforests at an altitude of 600-2000 meters above sea level. This creeping vine with a strong stem has veined and oval-ovate leaves with a length of 5-9 cm and a width of 7-9 cm. The leaves cover a brown stem and small shoots covered with fine fluff. The flowers of the plant are yellow to orange and the fruits in the shape of a sac hide seeds measuring about 3 mm. Vilcacora grows in humid tropical forests and subtropical forests of Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama and Bolivia. The plant belongs to the family of Morinaceae. Vilcacora reached Europe in the 1980s and ranked second in world popularity among Peruvian herbs.
