    I photographed this creeping plant in the Pyrenees in Spain and have not been able to find its like in my books or the Internet yet. Any ideas?

    Many thanks, Michael!

    Actually, I had seen White bryony in England, but then only without leaves, only berries, and another time in Spain with no time to study it closely, and no time to take a picture. So this was interesting!

    Correction: The plant that I had seen in England and southern Spain was actually Dioscorea communis (Tamus communis), a different plant altogether, with heart shaped leaves. Both are called bryony in English.
