A native of Asia, sometimes cultivated; it can be aggressive when escaped. A vigorous, high-climber, it can be a serious invasive of forests and areas near habitation in southern Michigan, capable of smothering trees and shrubs. First collected in 1976 in St. Joseph Co.
Vegetative material of C. orbiculatus can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from C. scandens. More characters are provided by Leicht-Young et al. (2008).
