Thanks Heather! That was just the lead I needed - based on recorded sightings it is almost certainly skunk vine. It seems sewer vine is currently restricted to Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
I found the same plant at my mom's house, north of Tampa. It is definitely genus Paederia, but it could be either sewer vine or skunk vine. See the webpage below: http://www.eattheweeds.com/paederia-foetida-much-maligned-skunk-vine-2/
