Description
[edit]Kadsura verrucosa is a climber. It is native to mainland Southeast Asia and Western Malesia, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos.[1]
The leaves are tough, but flexible, with an elliptical or ovate shape. The leaf stalks are around 1.5 cm long. The flowers, which have stalks between 1 and 3cm, may grow as compact clusters on the trunk. The berries, which are 3 to 5 cm long, are red or yellow when ripe. The berries are either round or kidney-shaped, and contain one or two seeds.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The species was first described in 1947.[1] The holotype, which was collected in Malaysia, is at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, in Leiden, Netherlands.[3]
