An epiphyte is a plant that grows non-parasitically upon another plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain and debris around it rather than the structure it is attached to. Scindapsus officinalis of family Araceae is an epiphytic climber clinging by its adventitious aerial roots. The plant possesses antioxidant activity. The uniqueness of this family is it is epiphytic in the adult stage.
