Yeah, you're right, it's a crap ID.
Still, I like the way it is self-segmented, llike the one under discussion.
The plant is a long self-supporting tendril which droops, like the f17v, and each segment is clearly self-contained - root, leaves, berries and end.
The berries do cluster out on branches (see further down) and further up the stalk they are starting to push out on branches.
You can't see it in that photo of mine, but the leaves do come out on stalks and then open up into a leaf.
The flower looks nothing like the top of the VM flower.
I would suggest that the split root of the VM indicates that the plant can grow several tendrils at once from a single root, but that for whatever reason (space, artistic intention) the artist only drew one tendril / stem.
What I liked about it was the reference that asphodal (also known as King's Spear) was associated with death and mourning - the Greek believed that ordinary but well behaved souls were escorted to their afterlife by the asphodal, which stood proud as if the spear of the soldiers escorting the King. Another Greek story says that asphodal was the favourite food of the dead, and that it blanketed the plains of Hades (source: my plant app).
A perfect fit with "tendrail face".
BTW, I think I actually saw asphodelus cerasiferus, or Royal Staff, but I'm not sure.

The roots are long and bulbous (albeit one bulb per root)
