Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This modest-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 42 feet (12.8 meters) and growing as high as 71 feet (21.6 meters).

It takes 4 years for the moss green stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and are rough and prickly.

The very narrow and elongated, leathery leaves reach up to 1.2 feet (36 cm) in length. They are dark green and blood red, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces copious amounts of large ashy red flowers.

It coexists peacefully with other plants.
The sap is edible and slightly sweet.
