I sadly wasn’t able to find much more information in English about this amazing vine, but a Google Translation of the Spanish Wikipedia page seems to indicate that it is a type of cucumber in the Cucurbitaceae family and thus related to melons, gourds and, well, other cucumbers.

The seeds, which are produced by a football-sized pod, can glide hundreds of metres across the forest. That ensures that the seeds fall far from their parent, giving the next generation of vines a head start. A BBC team team captured the film of the gliding seeds for the natural history series Life.
