This member of the Menispermaceae
family was given this name by Bunzô Hayata in 1913. It is found in
the mountain regions of south western China, Taiwan and Vietnam, growing in a
well drained organic rich soil with some water and some to lots of
sun. The plants are dioecious: Either the plant are male or female,
and the flowers are insignificant and green. The caudex can grow to
at least 20 centimetres in diameter with vines reaching two metres
or more.The genera name
after Stephan Ladislaus Endlicher, 1804-1849, an Austrian botanist
who formulated a major system of plant classification. The species
name means 'flowering head'. |
