Adenia ellenbeckii (Caudex)

A monoecious plant (it has both sexes on the same individual, but in distinct apparatuses, male - stamens and female - pistil) that can reach up to 1.5 m in height. Its caudex can reach up to 25 cm in diameter, in which the plant stores water to survive during drought periods. The leaves that grow from the base, have palmate sections, with 3-4 veins, are of a light green color. The flowers can be of a light yellow or creamy color. A curios fact: in the past, African peoples used to mix the juice of the fruit of A. Ellenbeckii with meat to poison hyenas.
