These pics were taken in the rainforest of Chiapas Mexico. These vines grow "wild" in open areas and on the edge of the forest. The people there say htey use the juice of the vines to make rubber (actually, vulcanize it). The juice is mixed with the latex of another tree, Castilla elastica.

My man identified a few kinds of vines he uses: one is Ipomoea Alba, but I can't figure out what the other one is. Here are a few pics of it. Is it even a morning glory?
