Coppervine

This short vine is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 12 feet (3.7 meters) and growing as high as 355 feet (108.2 meters).

It takes 6 months for the brown stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 2 cm (0.8 inches) and are hard and brittle.

The long, tapering, clammy leaves reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in length. They are white and copper, and have wavy edges.

During late spring, the vine produces a thick sheet of tiny orange flowers.
