'''''Decumaria''''' ('''woodvamp''') is a genus of two species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Hydrangeaceae]], one (''D. barbara'') native to the southeastern [[United States]], and the other (''D. sinensis'') native to central [[China]].
They are [[shrub]]by [[liana]]s growing to 4-10 m high through shrubs and trees, climbing by means of aerial adhesive rootlets. The [[leaf|leaves]] are variably [[deciduous]] to [[evergreen]] (with ''D. barbara'' tending to be more often deciduous, ''D. sinensis'' more evergreen), 3-10 cm long, ovate with an acute apex, and a smooth to obscurely toothed margin. The [[flower]]s are 5-10 mm diameter, white to creamy colored, fragrant, produced in dense [[panicle]]s 3-8 cm broad. The [[fruit]] is a dry [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] containing several [[seed]]s.
