This member of the Passifloraceae have been in trade for some time, but I don't seem to be able to verify the name. The origin and appearance make me think of Adenia lindiensis, but then again: It might be a new and interesting species. Any clue are welcome: E-m@il.me.
It seems like it can form a 30 centimetres caudex with vines, reaching at leat one meter. The flowers appears to be pale Rose.

*) I have not been able to verify this name. Might be Adenia lindiensis? Same area, slightly different leaves.

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 most likely after Jean Jules Linden, a Belgian botanist.
