Vines, usually climbing-scandent, twining to some extent, extending into crowns of trees. Stems to 10 cm diam., bark smooth, glabrous. Leaves glabrate (petioles sometimes sparsely short-pubescent at base); blade ovate to elliptic-ovate or elliptic, 3–6(–8) cm, base truncate to rounded or obtuse, margins entire or shallowly undulate-crenate (teeth at vein endings), apex obtuse to short acuminate; secondary veins 8–12 pairs, strongly parallel. Inflorescences 7–20-flowered. Drupes mostly blue-black to purple-black or purple-red, cylindric to oblong-ellipsoid, 5–8 mm, often glaucous.


Phenology: Flowering Mar–May.
Habitat: Riparian areas, ravines, swamps, bottomlands, upland forests.
