A lianescent shrub that can reach up to 20 m in height when climbing trees, with bipinnate leaves (with 8-20 pairs of pinnae, each with 20-40 pairs of linear leaflets) and very spiny, with prickles swollen at the base, minute -less than 8 mm- and irregularly arranged -neither paired nor in groups of 3- on stems, branches and leaf rachises.
