The leaves was more round than the other Kedrostis africana
and the caudex is rougher and has scales. This is a female plant.
This plant is sold at Winco with the name: Ibervillea sonorea.
I just bought it under the name, and was later told it was K. a.
I have no clue!

Flower and fruits of Rikke's plant.

2,5-3 centimetres long. Around six weeks after flowering.

    This member of the Cucurbitaceae was given this name by Célestin Alfred Cogniaux in 1881, and is found in Africa. It prefers well-drained soil, lots of water in the growing-period and some sun, but not necessary much. The small flowers are yellow, and it can also be reproduced by cuttings. The caudex can grow to 50 centimetres in diameter, and the vines reaches six meters. I have found most in forests.

 

The should be the right plant from Mbuyu. RM 104
