From bind (noun).

bine (plural bines)

1. (botany) A climbing plant which climbs by its shoots growing in a helix around a support (distinct from a vine, which climbs using tendrils or suckers).
   • 1900, Thomas Hardy, The Darkling Thrush:

     Like strings of broken lyres,
     And all mankind that haunted nigh
     Had sought their household fires.
