This member of the Dioscoreaceae
family was described by Carl von Linnaeus as Tamus, and later by Caddick
& Wilkin, in 2002, as Dioscorea. It is found in the
Southern Europe, growing in a well drained peat with some water and
some sun. The roots will grow to four centimetres, the wines can
reach for three meters. The flowers are small and white, and besides
form seeds, the plant can be reproduced by root cuttings.
