''Cassytha glabella'', commonly known as the slender devil's twine, is a common twining plant of the Laurel family, found in many of the moister parts of Australia. A hemi-parasitic climber. The specific epithet ''glabella'' is from Latin, referring to the lack of hairs. The fruit are sweet and mucousy to taste. The Devil's Twine and ''Cassytha melantha'' are similar, but with thicker hairier stems.
