I've got this vine which has starting getting out of hand in my yard. Last
year I saw a few stray strands of it growing among the Vinca but this
spring
it seems to have taken off and looks like it might overtake and smother
the
English Ivy in the woods! A picture and description appears at

Appreciate any help you might offer.

Thanks to Pat and JNJ. Using your information I did some searching online
for this particular plant and found that many of the leaves illustrated
didn't match very well. Then I hit upon
http://www.cnr.vt.edu/dendro/dendrol.../efortunei.htm in which the
leaf picture could well have been taken in my own yard. Guess I'll have to
figure out now what to do with them -- do I let them run wild, transplant
some and kill (or attempt to kill) the rest, or just attack them all. It is
actually a rather pretty plant but too much of a good thing is not so good.
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to answer.
