Running Straggler is a twining shrub, commonly found in the Western Ghats. The common name is probably in allusion to the rapid spreading habit of
the plant.
Leaves are broad-ovate and leathery. Greenish flowers are borne in
numerous, large, many-flowered panicles at the end of branches. Petals are
linear to spoon-shape, with blunt tips. Carpels are obovate, obtuse,
emarginate.
