Family : Dioscoreaceae
Habitat : South Africa
The elephant foot, Dioscorea elephantipes, is a perennial deciduous caudiciform vine belonging to the monocot yam family (Dioscoreaceae). The enlarged, exposed tuberous base is a water-storing organ, called a caudex . The caudex most often reaches a diameter of 60-90 cm, but sometimes 3 (or more) meter and is covered in tough armor-like plates. It produces a seasonal clinging growth up to 6 metres long. The leaves are heart-shaped. It bears small insignificant yellowish green flowers.
Rooted caudex of 9/11 cm.
