Madeira-vine, mignonette-vine (Anredera cordifolia or Boussingaultia baselloides). Joe

Galium aparine is a trail weed here. Not only is the foliage like Velcro, so are the seeds. I pull it up whenever I see it. Galium oderata might as well be a weed. It has spread all over for me, and in places it's not wanted. It can be controlled, but I wish I had never planted it. More trouble than it's worth, in my opinion. Mike

A Croton, perhaps Croton monanthogynus https://www.google.com/search?biw=1920&bih=940&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=croton+monanthogynus&oq=Croton+mon&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0j0i30k1l2j0i24k1.67952.71700.0.73886.16.16.0.0.0.0.124.1841.0j16.16.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.10.1184...0i8i30k1j0i67k1.XuQfPmLEo7o

^^ Weird. Would be interesting to get some more taste testers and samples to try to establish some consensus on it. I did find these other online evaluations - that seem to echo mine? ----------------------------------- "In terms of flavor, Cleavers is some of my favorite yard food. To me cleavers tastes very much like spring – it’s a fresh, green sort of flavor that I look forward to after winter. I’m guessing my neighbors think I’m a little odd as I’ll often grab a sprig to munch on my way out for work. Cleavers is best mixed in with a salad, if you’re eating it raw, or with other greens to cook as a pot green. I think it would be too much on it’s own and probably too much for your body as well – in part because cleavers, or Galium aparine is strongly medicinal." ----------------------------------- "Can we eat Cleavers ? Galium Aparine Of course we can ! It is a wonderful wild herb, can be found nearly all non-winter year around and can be eaten as salad, can be juiced, dried and used as a herbal infusion. It can be added to your coffee too ! It has no, bad taste at all, non-bitter, crunchy and very easy to identify ! Instead of claiming all the health benefits, don't even think about it ! Just drink a little juice, a little tea, hide a couple of leaves in your regular spinach-watercrest salad and off you go, you used wild herbs !"
