Red bean vine #159927

Asked November 08, 2013, 3:04 PM EST

I work in Fayette County as wildlife operations manager and I discovered this plant. I have looked up all my reference books but cannot find it. Please could you identify it for me? I would also like to know if it is native/toxic and does it have any uses. Many thanks.
