Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Vigorous Vine with Red Fruit, 1 by johnpeten

It was originally suggested that this is an Arrowhed Vine. Looking at the leaves it obviously is not, Last September/October it's fruit had ripened and eventually fell. I was hoping to see the flowers when they happened, possibly in the Spring.
This morning my attention was drawn to the most mature of these vines. It had well developed new fruit with the remains of the flowers attached. I had to use my camera with a 17 x zoom to see the fruit clearly.
I was a little peeved at having missed the flowers again.
These vines are rooted in the ground but tenaciously cling to my mature trees and disappear into the canopy.
They existed in the virgin forest before I cleared it to make my garden. So I assume it is a native plant.

If I knew the family I could easily find the Genus in our Flora (hopefully)

The red fruit was photographed at the end of September. The main vine today.
