Liana കഞ്ഞിരം, Strychnine tree, Snake-wood tree, Semen Strychnos and Quaker ButtonTree

This is truly an amazing information for me. The priest of the sacred grove shoved me this 'vine' and he claimed this is Strychnine tree. I thought he was talking about the sapling, but he claimed its another Strychnine 'vine' tree. Here I found a word for such trees - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liana.
