Coppervine

Climbing plant type: Bine (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This average-sized bine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 37 feet (11.3 meters)0. It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 11 months for the copper stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and are rough and fibrous.

The wide, clammy leaves reach up to 5 inches (13 cm) in length. They are slate and lime, and have toothed edges.

During late spring, the bine produces a thick sheet of tiny blood red flowers.

The entire flower is edible and overwhelmingly bitter.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
