What is a vine that looks like poison ivy but has a 5 leaf stem instead of a 3 leaf stem?

Virginia creeper - it is often mistaken for poison ivy.



See source for ways to tell them apart.

Sweet Woodruff aka Galium odoratum. It is a very nice ground cover, but I wouldn't use it because it looks so much like poison ivy. You step into it thinking it is all Sweet Woodruff, but sometimes there is poison ivy hiding in there. It is a native here in Ga.

Reply:Try doing a Stem Christie at Steamboat Springs Colorado with a belly fully of the fruits of the vine and you won't care whether or not you have poison oak or calamine lotion.
