This member of the Passifloraceae family was given this name by
Willem Jan Jacobus Oswald de Wilde in 1971. It is found
in Zambia, growing in a sandy or other well drained soil with
some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow to
eight
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to five or even ten centimetres in
height. The

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 means 'oval'. |
