A Caribbean pipevine species with twining vines that can reach several feet in length, adorned in broad to slender arrowhead shaped leaves and of course on maturity, may throw out many of its wild looking flowers. Each bloom has a swollen yellowish balloon-like base from which a narrow curving tube rises up, the tip of which expands and splits into two hairy maroon-tinted lobes, above which a longer flap mottled in yellow and maroon and dotted with bulbous glandular protrusions.
Available plants are seedlings, with leaves 1-2 inches long and vines that are currently 2-8 inches, but will rapidly increase in size.
