Description
Dioscorea hamiltonii is a perennial yam species belonging to the Dioscoreaceae family, native to parts of Asia. It grows from an underground tuber and produces long, twining vines that climb with the help of slender stems. The leaves are typically heart-shaped to ovate, arranged alternately along the stems, giving the plant a lush, trailing appearance.
This yam prefers warm, tropical to subtropical conditions with well-drained soil and thrives in areas with good rainfall or consistent moisture. Like many members of the yam family, Dioscorea hamiltonii is valued for its vigorous growth and its adaptability in cultivation.
