Twistvine

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 45 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has many slender, wavy stems covered in wrinkled, gray bark, and the wood inside is brown.

The branches are very long and thin with thousands of twigs that and are covered with handfuls of giant, spear shaped, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are generally white, robust and smooth.

It produces many bunches of large, orange flowers with needle-like petals. They are hardy and have an intensely strong scent that smells like fermented fruit. In early summer it forms medium-sizedwhite, spiky-shelled seeds.
