A very common climber in moist areas of eastern Australia, it often colonises large areas after forest damage due to storms, fire or logging.

Leaves elliptic or ovate in shape, slightly toothed or entire.

Yellow flowers occur on terminal umbels, mostly in spring and summer.

Five leaf Water Vine provides abundant food and shelter for birds and small animals.

The stunning blue berries may be eaten raw and provide a delicious watery snack but do leave an acrid aftertaste that can be slightly irritating.
