Description
Dioscorea elephantipes, commonly known as the Elephant’s Foot or Hottentot Bread, is a unique and unusual succulent plant. It belongs to the family Dioscoreaceae and is native to the arid regions of South Africa. The most distinctive feature of this plant is its large, tuberous caudex that resembles an elephant’s foot, giving it its common name. This caudex serves as a water storage organ, allowing the plant to survive long periods of drought.
