or at the edges of forests, in fields, and mountains. Branches have

tendrils, to extend. Leaves are alternate; blades measure 3-12 cm
long, are circular or elliptical, with short, pointed tips, circular
bases, entire margins, leathery edges, and an obtusely glossy
surface. Simultaneously with the development of the leaves, axils
bear umbels and set many yellow-green flowers in them. Sap fruit,
spherical, 7- 9 mm across, mature orange-red in October-November.
