¿ Dioscorea sp. ? Dear friends, so which is the dioscorea leaf? In the first picture, a stem runs from bottom centre to top centre. There are 4 half folded leaves on the stem. They are Dioscorea leaves. Here attached is the photo with red circles over the 4 leaves that I mentioned in earlier message, plus another 2 leaves on the stem bearing the inflorescence.
Inflorescence of posted plant resembles that of Dioscorea oppositifolia … those familiar with Dioscorea spp. may please comment.
Attachments (1) I am inclined towards Clematis / Naravelia. OK, … We will wait for comments. Dioscorea oppositifolia L. ??
I clearly see that the leaves are alternately arranged. Not sure whether such variation occurs in D. oppositifolia.
