Ipomoea cairica Mile-a-Minute
Common Names: Mile-a-Minute, Coast Morning Glory, Railroad Creeper, Messina Creeper, Cairo Morning Glory

The Mile-a-Minute vine is a noxious weed here in Australia. It has palmate foliage which in this photo is showing damage from being fed upon by a species of flea beetle (exact species unknown).
