????Can You Identify this Vine?????

[Harold Arnold]

  In the best tradition of the Usenet the subject query was answered within
2 hours of its posting by cereoid as Ibervillea lindheimeri  (see post
above.).  Thank you for the prompt reply.  I have checked other Web
resources and I am now virtually certain this identity is correct.

In his post cereoid refers to the plant's large tuberous root.   From time
to time I have run across a string of potato like tubers growing in series
on a single ¼ to 3/8-inch root.  A few may have been 5 feet long with 4 or 5
such tubers.  I have never connected these root strings to this plant before
but quite likely this is what cereoid was referring to.  This morning I
found at a location different from the original pictured site a string of
two tubers.  There were small Ibervillea lindheimeri present in the
vicinity.  See a picture of the 2-tuber root string by clicking below:
