Xerosicyos perrieri is a succulent gourd from Madagascar. Leaves are plump, apple green, and the largest are about the size of a thumbnail. This is a cute, tough little vine with corkscrew tendrils and chubby leaves; I' m going to see how it does outside this summer protected from excess rain water. Will report back with before and after pictures.
