Rubus cissoides | tātarāmoa, bush lawyer
Tātarāmoa is a fascinating, vigorous, and prickly vine, distinguished by its compound, leathery, hairless leaves with serrated edges, and young stems armed with sharp red prickles. In spring, it produces abundant white flowers in much-branched clusters (panicles), and its hooked foliage allows it to cling to other shrubs and trees.
