This member of the Vitaceae family was given this name by Bernard M. Descoings in 1966. It is found in tropical Africa, growing in a well drained soil with some water and some sun. The caudex can grow to fifteen centimetres in diameter, the entire plant from 90 to 180 centimetres in height. The flowers are greenish red. I never been able to grow this plant in a nice shape. It won't climb, it won't stand.
The genera name from the Greek kyphos; 'tumor' or,'hump' and stemma; 'garland' or 'crown'. The species name means 'rush-like'. Wild plant by Bart Wursten. The caudex from Copperflora.
