This member of the Cucurbitaceae family was given this name by Célestin Alfred Cogniaux in 1916. It is found in Bahia, Brazil, growing in a well drained soil with some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow to ten centimetres or more, the vines up to two metres. The plants are dioecious - either male or female - the flowers are yellow. The wines and three leaflets are hairy.
The genera name is from Greek apodos; 'wirhout a foot' and Greek antheros; 'flowering' for the sessile flowers. The species name; congestiflora referring to the inflorescence: congest = dense, flora = flowers.
