Trophis scandens, commonly named burny vine, is a species of large woody vines, constituting part of the fig plant family. They grow naturally in rainforests in Australia and Malesia.
In Australia, they grow naturally from Mount Dromedary in coastal south–eastern New South Wales northwards through the eastern coastal regions to north Queensland, Cape York Peninsula and further across coastal regions of northern Australia in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Botanists have recognised and described two subspecies, as follows, one found growing naturally only (endemic) in Lord Howe Island offshore from New South Wales Australia and the type subspecies of mainland Australia and Malesia.
