Vines sprawling, trailing, or climbing over associated plants, often completely covering them, stems to 2(–4) m. Leaves: petiole 8–25 mm; blade 1.5–5(–7) cm, base cordate to convex, lobes broader and shallower on juvenile growth, narrower (to linear-oblong) on distal stems, abaxial surface glabrous, adaxial surface and margins pustulate-scabrous to pustulate-hirsutulous. Staminate inflorescences 2–4 cm. Capsules 0.5–1.2 cm, beak (3–)4–7 mm. Seeds 4–5 mm.
