Dioscorea elephantipes Caudiciform Senecio stapeliiformis 'Kilimanjaro' Family: AsteraceaeDioscorea elephantipes Family: Dioscoreaceae. A nice vining caudiciform from South Africa. The caudex is brown and smooth when young but in time becomes cracked and takes on a tortoise shell appearance. Well grown plants in the ground can develop a caudex 3' diameter or larger! But in a pot a reasonable expectation is 6" 1' diameter when mature. Can grow year round but is more of a cool season grower and often goes dormant in summer. Water regularly
