Native Yam - “Daam”

Dioscorea transversa - Slender climbing vine  with distinctive heart shaped leaves and 3-winged seed pods.  The  alternate heart shaped leaves are light to dark green which die back  during winter. Each seed pod has three light green, flat papery wings  that collectively hang in clusters, turning whitish brown in winter. The  yam is edible and a highly prized food. It is cylindrical and can grow  deep into the soil. It grows well in the rainforest.
