'''Lygodium flexuosum''' is a slender, evergreen, climbing fern with a short-creeping rhizome. All species of the genus have an elongated climbing rachis (leaf stem) that has the capacity for indefinite growth, often reaching lengths of several metres. It twines around other plants for support, often climbing up from the shade into a sunny position.
