Mystery vine

19 years ago

I'm trying to identify a very interesting vine. Sorry that I can't provide a photo, but will try to describe it. It a very thick fleshy vine and the leaves are sort of semi-succulent. The leaves are alternate on the vine, that is one on one side and the next on the other side but not directly across from the other one. The person that has it was hoping I could identify it but it is something new to me. The main or older parts of the plant were probably five to six foot long and it has not had any blooms on it at all. She had planted some other plants in this pot, but this thing came up. It is really quite attractive, healthy looking. Someone told me that there was a vine called Jack and the Beanstalk Vine, but had no other name for it. This could fit the picture especially if it is capable of growing even longer. If anyone has a guess, at least it would give me something to search for. Any suggestions will be helpful The only things that it reminds me of would be something in the bean family. The thickness of the stems remind me of poke weed, but it's strickly green and is definately not poke, I grew up on that stuff!
