The Candlestick Plant (Adenia stylosa) is a pachycaul shrub or liana forming a tangle of twisted stems raying out every which way from an extraordinary hard, conical, irregular, bumpish green caudex looking like a mountain shaped candle with melting wax coming down. Male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. Pale yellow flowers open on the tendrils in the spring and summer. |
