Lineana multiflora is a climbing or scandent shrub. It is found in lowland tropical forests. The plant has opposite, ovate to elliptical leaves that are glossy and leathery. The flowers are borne in axillary cymes and are trumpet-shaped, typically white or pale yellow with a green throat. The fruit is a follicle. Lineana is characterized by its distinct floral morphology and its restricted geographic distribution. While not widely cultivated, it is of interest in botanical studies for its taxonomic placement within the Apocynaceae family. Further research may reveal additional ecological roles or potential uses of this species.
