$100.00
Adenia stylosa is an impressive pachycaul shrub or liana with fleshy, vine-like branches that grow from a caudex with a metallic green sheen. The caudex looks like wax drips rolling down a candle onto the candlestick, hence the common name. It can reach up to 6.7 feet (2 m) tall but usually grows less than 20 inches (50 cm) in height and up to 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Leaves are variable in shape and color but are usually heart-shaped and purple-violet to dark green with dark red veins.
This species is endemic to northern Madagascar. It occurs in Ankarana National Park in dry forests, with the stems climbing high up into the surrounding vegetation.
