Thank you Karen Weaving for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Murray Mallee SA, Adelaide Hills, Flinders Ranges, Coastal Areas and possibly elsewhere Flowers look very similar to the Mallee Fringe-lily, but as you can see the plant habit is totally different. As it's common name indicates, it's a climber and wraps itself around other plant stems to gain height (~200mm or so). Also snakes around on the ground flowering. We weren't able to find any leaves.
