Twinevine

This large shrub grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall and lives for around 64 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has numerous knobbly, straight stems covered in cracked, silver and white bark, and the wood inside is mahogany-coloured.

The branches are short, rigid and upright with dozens of twigs that and are covered with small amounts of giant, fan-like, leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are hazel and grey, flimsy and clammy.

In late summer it produces many bunches of small, lime flowers with pleated petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are very delicate and have an intensely strong scent that smells like alcohol.
