Near Coastal Sand-dunes, habitation just 50 yards away. It is a woody species, or shrub if you like, which can climb with the help of tendrils to higher than 10m. |

The leaves are either almost circular, or cordate (heart-shaped), or palm-shaped with 5 or 7 lobes; some looking not unlike those of Hop. |

Not to be semantically confused with : Oregon-Grape (Mahonia aquifolium, Grape-Hyacinth (Muscari neglectum, Garden Grape-Hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum, Uniquely identifiable characteristics Distinguishing Feature : It is an archaeophyte which is grown in house gardens or cultivated on large scales, usually in the warmer South of England where it is usually warm enough for the fruits, grapes, to fully develop. It will be more hit and miss up on the Sefton Coast, probably more miss than hit, but the climate is warming at an ever increasing pace. It can become naturalised in scrub, hedges or ,like a lot of plants, beside waste tips! It occurs scattered through the UK up to Central Scotland, beyond which it is probably too cold even for the fruitless plants to grow.
