I have had this for a long time and lost the tag. It has 2 types of leaves and now that it has fruit I thought someone might recognize it. It sort of looks like a dog turd? That is what I love about caudiciforms, they get these wierd shapes. Thanks. Sally
I am thinking a focksea multiflora(spelling?) . 8>) or a Cucurbitaceae, probatly a Kedrostis!

Not Fockea, they are Asclepiads and have the twin horned seed pods like Stapelias (if you are lucky) Kedrostris or Melothria are the two caudiciform genera of the Curcubitaceae that I know, but there may be others. I don't recognise the leaf shape, but the immature fruit looks interesting. Could you post pictures of a fully mature fruit, and more of the leaves? Kaelkitty.
That is one interesting plant.
Neat!
Here is one of the leaves. There are 2 types.
This is the other leaf shape. Thanks for your help. Sally
