Plant grows erect or as a trailing vine with aerial rootlets .
Flowers small, yellowish. Fruits small, smooth, white and round, clustered. Fruits August - November. Avoid it, for every part of the plant contains an oil that inflames skin and results in painfully itchy blisters and rashes. It also spreads incredibly easily, so touching a part of your body with poison ivy and then touching another part of your body or someone else will transfer the oil.
