I am checking this towards identification to species.
Including working through the Flora of NSW online PlantNet botanical key to genera in this botanical Family Vitaceae and checking NSW formerly called _Cissus_ species .

Please advise us of the form of tendrils this vine has ?

I can make some tendrils out in the distant background of photograph two.

We need information on the form of the tendrils ? – including:
• how long ? – In photograph two it appears that tendrils sometimes measure ten centimetres long or more ?
• where attached to the stem? – In photograph two it appears that tendrils are attached to the stem opposite to the attachment of the leaves ?
• branched tendrils or all tendrils un-branched ?
.

Please advise do the leaves have any domatia ? – In photograph two the leaves undersides shown there superficially appear not to have domatia?
