Several vines in Ggassy woodland behind backyards, I think a passiflora as observed in a nearby garden.

Blue passionflower is used as rootstock for edible passionfruit plants. It can easily sprout from below the graft. It can also sprout from the rootstock after the grafted plant dies. The rootstock plant then fruits producing viable seed. Its fruits are actually poisonous.
