Summary[edit]

Description

Pronunciation: CISS-us (not KISS-us ;)) Common Australian rainforest vine; Common names: Jungle grape, Giant water Vine, Five-leaf Water Vine, Native Grape. Vitaceae family.

Note, on the right pic you can see the forked tendrils, helps to climb.

Jennifer Liney (southeast.austplants.com.au) says: Do not ever plant the woody climber Cissus hypoglauca in a domestic garden, particularly if it moist and shady. It will very soon take over your garden with all its tamed flowers and shrubs, and probably your house as well. But it behaves quite well if confined to a pot, either indoors or out.

Berries of this 'native grape' may be eaten raw, - the fruit has long been part of the Aboriginal diet, and also for early Australian settler. But not as good as a real grape - Cissus berries are juiceless and sour.
