Description: Weird but ornamental herbaceous perennial caudiciform vine, with massive, above-ground flask-like caudex with a tapering shape, a bit like an elephant’s tusk.Caudex: This species has a very broad, fat, underground root system. This complex root system gradually tapers into a thickened, conical or disc-shaped caudex that can grow up to 60/200cm across. The caudex is woody, smooth, dark brown with concentric rings and looks like a big brown rock. In habitat this underground storage organ can attain surprisingly large dimensions with a water reservoir capacity up to 100-200 (or more) litres. Stem (vines): The rambling vines are succulent and reach about the height of two meters in cultivation (but in habitat they can reach the length of more than 20 m.)Leaves: Fleshy, serrated (tri-lobed) and deciduous. Flower: Yellowish-green to glaucous green in a loose inflorescence.You will receive a plant growing in a 3" pot (see 'Item Condition' for actual plant or similar plant as shown in the photos).
