Notes
This ubiquitous scrambler is clearly weedy in habit, it invades sunny creek edges that are exposed because of a lack of covering shade trees. In historical terms it is not normal for our SEQ waterways to let sun onto the creek. The natural state is deep shade produced by a large range of trees including Waterhousea, Black Bean, Hard Quondong, Sandpaper and other Figs, E. microcorys, Neolitsea, Kamalas (red and green), Cryptocaryas, Jagera, Alphitonia, Cheese Trees, Flindersia and so on. Through these the canopy would be thickened by vines including Wonga, Native Grape, Embelia, Pearl Vine, Ripogonums, Round Leaf Vine, and others
