I know this plant as a Madagascar Rubber Vine. It exudes white latex which used to be utilized for rubber making in other parts of the world. It's a shrub/vine, and I'm told that in Australia has become a huge nuisance plant because of its tendency to strangle any plants in its neighborhood.

I know this plant as "Tumba Casas" House falls Down. I have two of these vines in my yard and just found out what the real name is.

This was a couple of years ago before it really bushed out and took over the corner, the neighbor, the side of the fence, the rose bush...
