Copper creeper

This small creeper is a fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 8 feet (2.4 meters)0.

It takes 9 months for the copper and slate stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and are smooth and waxy.

The finger-like, smooth leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are slate on the edges and brown at the center, and have wavy edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces a handful of tiny copper flowers, and during the early autumn, after flowering, it produces a handful of tiny seed pods.
