Abstract

The collection of creepers from the wild area at Khun Wang Development Center, Royal Project Foundation, Chiangmai where is 1,200 m above sea level was conducted. We obtained 31 creeper samples but only 23 samples were able to adapt and grow at Chiangmai University where 330 m above sea level. The 31 collected creeper samples were identified by comparing with the reference, dry samples of the Herbarium institute, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University. It was able to classify the creepers into 12 families, 18 genuses and 20 species. Raphidophora glauca and R. peep had the potential to be developed as a cut leaf or pot plant.
