Dioscorea elephantipes

The Dioscorea elephantipes, commonly known as the Elephant’s Foot or Turtleback Plant, is a unique and fascinating caudiciform plant native to South Africa. Its most striking feature is the large, woody caudex that resembles an elephant’s foot or a turtle’s shell. This caudex can grow up to 1 meter in diameter and is covered with thick, corky plates. From the caudex, slender, twining vines emerge, adorned with heart-shaped, green leaves. During its growing season, it produces small, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers. This plant is prized for its unusual appearance and slow, steady growth.
