Some claim it is Cyphostemma bainesii. I disagree.
This member of the Vitaceae family was given this name by Bernard M. Descoings in 1967.
It is found in the western central Namibia, growing in the heights in a well drained soil with some water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow to 70 centimetres wide, the whole plant to 50 centimetres. The flowers are greenish yellow to dark pink.
The genera name from the Greek kyphos; 'tumor' or,'hump' and stemma; 'garland' or 'crown'. The species name after Francisco Seitz, 1831–1909, a Austro-Hungarian botanist.
