Coppervine

Shrub type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 29 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of long and flexible, straight stems covered in delicate, rough, copper-coloured bark, and the wood inside is yellow.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright with dozens of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of small, very thick, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are green and turquoise, delicate and smooth.

It produces lots of medium-sized, lilac flowers with long, narrow petals. They are sturdy and have an intense scent that smells like old books. In late spring it forms giantolive, spiky-shelled seeds.

All parts of the caudiciform are edible.
It is suitable for making strong rope
It releases hallucinogenic smoke when burned.
