This plant easily found everywhere. iTs fast growing shrub make it as one of our invasive species. It also become covering plant for rubber plantation area. It is a climber. Small and hard stems like wire. 3 area leaf like grape leaves and a a very strong smell if crushed. Flower white in color. Fruit edible when ripe. Fruit covering like some sort insect trapping plant but no scientific data shown that this plant insectivore.
it is one of my favorite plant when i was small kid.
