bases that have tendrils transformed from stipules, with which they
twine around. Axils give umbels and set small green-yellow flowers;
male flowers' perianth lobes are 4-5cm long, lanceolate, and
somewhat small, while females' are oblong and small. Sap fruit is
spherical, approximately 1 cm across, and matures to a black color.
