This member of the
Passifloraceae family was given this name by Bernard Verdcourt in 1964. It is
found in Somalia, growing in grit or another well drained soil with
little to some water and lots of sun. It will eventually form a
dense bush, up to 120-200 centimetres height, hiding the 30 to 100 centimetre
caudex. 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 Peter R.
O. Bally, 1892-1984, an English botanist. |
