Twining shrubs; leaves mostly narrowly elliptic or ovate with flat or undulate margins; pedicels slender, pendulous or curving, 12–45 mm long in flower, often extending in fruit; ovary and fruit glabrous or rarely pubescent B.mutabilis

Ascending shrubs; leaves c. oblong, usually with distinctly recurved margins; pedicels stout, erect or sometimes pendulous, up to 12 mm long in fruit; ovary and fruit densely villous B.scandens

The recurved leaf margins and relatively oblong leaves should make this scandens i think

In my point of view,
with this, your sighting here, i would like to see the internal structure of the fruits to have a sure and confirmed identification .

Yeah.
Much of the old records of B. scandens identify to B. mutabilis – but certainly not all.

I'm using an old Flora of NSW and am not familiar with mutabilis, this taxon has previously been collected from our place as B. scandens.
