Coral Creeper

This huge creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 3,438 feet (1,047.9 meters) and growing as high as 573 feet (174.7 meters).

It takes 12 years for the olive or bold red stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 1.0 foot (30 cm) and are hard and brittle.

The slender, pointed, waxy leaves reach up to 4.0 feet (1.2 meters) in length. They are white and peach, and have jagged edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces many small drab yellow flowers.
