Dioscorea villosa. Dioscorea villosa flower petal color is commonly known to be green to brown, or white. Lengths of the flower petals range from 0.5 to 2 mm (1 ⁄ 32 to 3 ⁄ 32 in). The flowers tend to grow out of the axil; this is the point at which a branch or leaf attaches to the main stem.
In APG II (2003), [27] a number of changes were made to Dioscoreales, as a result of an extensive study by Caddick and colleagues (2002), [5] [28] using an analysis of three genes, rbcL, atpB and 18S rDNA, in addition to morphology. These studies resulted in a re-examination of the relationships between most of the genera within the order.
Furthermore, Dioscorea is a twiner, this means that the plant undergoes circumnutation which is a helical movement that allows stems to wrap around objects. In order for this mechanism to take place, endodermal cells, plasmodesmata, the plasma membrane, epidermal cells, calcium, potassium, chloride, and proton pumps are required. [ 16 ]
