From southwestern Madagascar, where many of our species occur naturally, this little Adenia is geophytic with mostly annual tendrils bearing three-parted palm-shaped leaves. Because of the color and round stems, it took us a while to separate these plants from Seyrigia gracilis, which grows in the same area. The flowers are inconspicuous but the plants may be either monoecious or dioecious. These plants are seedlings in 5-inch pots.
