Description
Raphionacme procumbens is found in Eswatini, Mozambique, South Africa (Limpopo and Mpumalanga) and Zimbabwe, growing in open grassland areas with well-draining soil with some water and lots of sun. The caudex can reach 20 centimetres or more in diameter, the vines will reach up to 75 centimetres. The deciduous flowers are a pale green star with a purple centre. It can be reproduced by seeds. The genera name from Greek rhaphis meaning ‘beet-root’ and akme; ‘sharpness’ possibly referring to the taste of the roots – haven’t tried yet. The species name means ‘lying’ or ‘outstretched’ for the growth form.
