Image should have been posted on Mon., November 9th, 2015. Found these berries on an unlabeled plant at Sarah Duke garden on Sunday. I took it in the horizontal mode, but thought with the arrangement of the berries I should really crop it. As you can tell it is not an exact square. I had to ask a horticulturalist at the garden about the identification of this plant. See Comment. The information from the web site she provided showed that the distribution of the plant is more likely to be in the Northeastern part of the US, i.e Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire.

Information provided by Sarah Duke Gardens re: the identification of this plant since no label in the garden" Euonymus fortunei ‘Vegetus.’ Here is more info: this is a non-native species with orange fruits that can be dispersed by birds. It has two forms that have been collected in the region: a liana that climbs on other vegetation by means of aerial roots and an upright or spreading shrub that does not climb. First introduced to the United States in 1906 as an ornamental, many variegated cultivars are available. While it has been found naturalized in New England away from the cultivated setting, most populations appear to planted individuals that have persisted after or spread from cultivation. https://gobotany.newenglandwild.org/species/euonymus/fortunei/limbing spindle-tree
