Adenia cissampeloides is a woody vine that can reach up to 25 m (82 ft) in length.[2] The stems are pale green to gray green and can be spotted. The leaves have smooth edges and are punctate (marked with dots), with a cordate (heart-shaped) to truncate (square) base. A. cissampeloides is monecious: it has unisexual flowers that occur in inflorescences. Male flowers have free or connate (fused together) filaments. Fruits are capsules with one to three fruits occurring per inflorescence.[1]
It was first described in 1849 as Modecca cissampeloides. In 1897, it was moved to the genus Adenia.[3]
Adenia cissampeloides is currently found naturally in rainforests, swamps, and savannas in Africa.[2]
It has several different human uses from medicine to consumption. Along with several other plants, it is used in Ghana in traditional medicines as a treatment for malaria.[4] The leaves can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable.[5]
