Description:  "A fetid, herbaceous, hairy, perennial vine, scrambling or climbing to 5 m or more by axillary, unbranched, coiling tendrils with soft to hard, yellow to brown hairs; stems slender, green, round, covered with yellowish fine hairs; leaves alternate, thin, ovate to ovate-oblong, 4.5 to 14 cm long, 3.5 to 13 cm wide, 3-lobed with central lobe slightly longer than others, base cordate, pale green or yellowish, soft but densely hairy, venation distinct; petiole 2 to 10 cm long; flowers solitary in leaf axils, on stalk 3.5 cm long, white to pale-purple or pinkish, about 3 cm across, within corolla is a collar or corona of 2 rows of purple filaments with white tips, spreading out flat and nearly as long as petals, flower subtended by prominent involucre of 3 pale green bracts that are 1- to 3-pinnately divided into numerous segments, the ultimate segments glandular; sepals 5, white, linear, 1.5 cm long, pale; petals 5, linear; stamens 5, anthers large; filaments united in a tube; carpels 3, syncarpous; pistils 3, each with 2- or 3-lobed stigma; ovary intermediate, 1-locular with many ovules; fruit an indehiscent berry or capsule, yellow, red or orange, globular, dry inflated, 2 to 3 cm long, surrounded by the shaggy involucral bracts; seeds numerous, wedge-shaped to ovate, about 4 mm long, with coarse reticulate pattern centrally each side, seeds covered with white, sweet pulp.  The filamentous corona with purple base and white in upper half, the prominent and persistent involucre of bracts that are pinnately divided, and the disagreeable odor of all parts when crushed are distinguishing characteristics of this species"  (Holm et al., 1997; p. 572).

"Perennial vine, the stems hispid, with tendrils; leaves 3-lobed, the lobing shallow to halfway to the midvein; lobe-apices acute; leaf base subcordate; both sides hispid-hirsute; blades 5-10 cm long, equally wide; petiole 2-5 cm long; flowers solitary in axils, 4-5 cm wide, purple and white on pedicels 3-7 cm long; fruit yellow to orange; subglobose, thin leathery-skinned, nearly 2 cm think, with many seeds; pulp scanty, sweetly tart.  The very finely laciniate sepals enclosing the fruit probably gave rise to the curious common name" (Stone, 1970; p. 430).

Habitat/ecology:  An invader on disturbed sites, forms a dense ground cover which prevents or delays the establishment of other species.  Favors wet areas.  "The plant thrives on many soil types, including peat, and prefers moist tropical areas and wet seasons in Australia and Hawaii, while frequenting drier areas in Fiji.  It is found most often in plantation crops, grows vigorously in neglected plantings, and because it tends to infest work roads and field borders the wee may spread into crops.  It is common on seashores, river banks, bushland, highway borders, wastelands, and seeks out disturbed areas.  In plantation crops of the tree habit, the weed tends to be most severe in mature plantings where there is some shade" (Holm et al., 1997; p. 572).

In Hawai‘i, "naturalized and common in disturbed sites, especially on dry rock outcrops, ‘a‘ā lava, and in sandy soils, 0-500 m"  (Wagner et al., 1999; p. 1011).  In Fiji, "a scrambling and twining vine, naturalized as a weed along roadsides and in coastal thickets, patches of forest, and canefields at elevations from near sea level to about 200 m"  (Smith, 1981; pp. 667-668). Arid lowlands and moist uplands in the Galápagos Islands (McMullen, 1999; p. 303). In Guam, "in waste ground, secondary thickets, and abandoned fields" (Stone, 1970; p. 430). In New Guinea, "a weed of roadsides, plantation margins and rough pastures. Widespread at low altitudes" (Henty & Pritchard, 1975; p. 132). In New Caledonia, "assez commun comme mauvaise herbe" (MacKee, 1994; p. 113).

Propagation:  Seed, commonly eaten and dispersed by birds and mammals (Smith, 2002; p. 52).

Native range:  South America, now a pan-tropical weed.
