Observed blooming and with mature fruit/seed on the margin of a wooded area at Iten, Kenya, Africa. January 2012.
Woody vine growing up into trees at the edge of a secondary wood. The flowers have conspicuously fringed petals and are mostly white and green. Flowers in groups one to several in an umbel. Paired folicles are disposed at 180°, terate and 10 to 15 cm long. Long cotton-like fibers on the seeds aid wind dispersal. The twining stems reached several meters up trees along an exposed clearing. The lanceolate leaves are opposite on the stems.
