A woody vine growing into the canopy, widely distributed in subtropical and dry rainforest.
Alternate leaves with faintly toothed margins.Greenish small flower (to 5mm) on hairy, terminal panicles followed by yellow-orange fruit in leathery capsule to 9mm wide splitting to reveal small angular seeds with orange-yellow arils. Ripe April-May.
Considered too large and vigorous for small gardens but useful otherwise for established rainforest plantings.
Propagate from fresh seed with the aril removed.

This is the plant which Denhamia celastroides resembles. In Walton Bridge Reserve they are growing side by side. This photo is of a specimen found in a reveg planting behind the soccer oval in The Gap, near Glenafric Street.
