I have no idea what this is, but I don't know how to upload without specifying something, so I just put Fungi. It was on a bald cypress.
Brought in by a surfer who found it on Silver Strand beach in Oxnard, CA.
High climbing vine with no prickles in evidence.
Smilax walteri, maybe? That seems a bit off its range...
A single example was found in the woods. It has clasping leaves, and is uniformly pubescent.
Making my best guess for this pretty little woodland flower.
