This member of the Passifloraceae
family

Fernandes in 1958. It is found in south-western Angola, growing in a well drained soil with
some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow to ten centimetres in diameter, the
annual stems

The name Adenia
is derived from aden, meaning gland, and pertains to the glands
found on leaves of most of the species.
The species name after Charles
