Cynanchum ellipticum
Delicate climber found at Kingfisher Creek twining its way up grasses and shrubs. The shiny bright green leaves contain milky, bitter latex that is apparently non-irritant. They are broadly elliptical with a pronounced tip at the apex and appear in pairs opposite each other.
The flowers are tiny and pungent, produced in clusters. They have a tubular corolla, which is a distinctive characteristic.
