A species of Korthalsia rattan plant. The stems or "trunks" are covered in long sharp thorns. They can grow tall and long.
Along the trail in Bukit Gemuk (Fat Hill), Tawau, Sabah.
>>>Map accuracy: 1000m diameter. These "vines" are common along forest trails here making it a nuisance or even dangers to hikers and trekkers. Even Dan and I got hurt by these thorns during the hike today, fortunately we only received minor scratches.
