These two species categorized as shrubs but in many cases i observed these species as climbers, so I am confused whether i put them in climber list or in shrub list. My working area in in Odisha where the vegetation type is Tropical dry deciduous. Any suggestions please.
Dear Pradhan,
Both Ziziphus oenoplia (Rhamnaceae) and Olax scandens (Oleaceae) are Shrubs.
Good luck

Scandent shrub, as given in the link by Arvind, is appropriate.
Happy New Year.
They can be considered as scramblers. At times we can see them climbing over other plants, mostly trees.
I observe these species as climbers in dense forests but in buffer they acts like shrubs. So if i have to group them as shrubs or climbers what i should prefer. Climber means completely climbing the tree just like lianas. Thanks all for you answers. Thanks Vivek. I am coming to Pondicherry for 4th IBC 2017.
As far as my knowledge, this plant is an erected shrub. It is found in Assam in India. Its stems with hairs and it belongs to the family Lamiaceae.
