This dioecious member of the
Cucurbitaceae family was described by Monique Keraudren in 1960. It is found
on Madagascar, growing in very well drained soil with some water,
some sun and a rather high humidity. The tuberous roots will grow to
four centimetres in diameter, the vines to 80 centimetres. The flowers
are pale yellow or greenish, and it can be reproduced both by seeds
and cuttings, which will form a caudex.
The genera is named after A. Seyrig,
a French entomologist. The species is named for its slender
branches.
Needs a rather high
air-humidity.
