Massive turtle-shell caudex below, delicate vines and heart-shaped leaves above—Dioscorea thrives on contrast. These charismatic caudiciforms occur across Africa, Mexico, Asia, and Australia, and despite similar appearances, their lifestyles can be wildly different. Some species even grow in Japan, where you may know them by another name: wild yam.
