This short vine is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 19 feet (5.8 meters) and growing as high as 986 feet (300.5 meters).

It takes 3 months for the brown stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are smooth and waxy.

The wispy, clammy leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are found in silver, grey and gold varieties, and have toothed edges.

During late spring, the vine produces dozens of average lime flowers, and during the late summer, after flowering, it produces a few small berries.
