Dioscorea deltoidea
Wild Yam is a plant of much variability depending on where in its range it is found, whether in the understory or in alluvial areas, in full sun or full shade, and in the various soil types. it is a native perennial herbaceous vine growing from 3 to 18+ feet long on twining stems the are cylindrical to slightly tapering in cross section and usually with a longitudinal groove. The lower stem portion is somewhat rigid, ridged and woody but the upper portions and smooth and flexible. Stem color can vary from greenish-yellows to much deeper color. Twining is counter-clockwise.
Leaves on the lower portions of the stem can be alternate to sub-opposite or in whorls of 3 to 7 leaves (particularly in an understory). Upper stem leaves are always alternate. The long leaf stalk is usually ridged and frequently longer than the leaf blade which is ovate in shape, margins entire, 9 to 11 prominent veins, the tip pointed, the base heart-shaped. The upper surface is usually smooth and lustrous green, but the underside can have fine hair to dense short hair. Young leaves have a golden-green cast.
The inflorescence: Wild Yam is dioecious, that is, it has male (staminate) and female (pistillate) flowers separated on different plants. The staminate flowers occur in a solitary inflorescence from the leaf axils, in the form of a drooping panicle that is widely branched, each cyme on the panicle having 1 to 3 flowers. Pistillate flowers occur in a drooping spike-like raceme, 2 to 4 inches long, with 4 to 18 flowers.
Flowers: Staminate flowers have a greenish-white perianth, bell to funnel shaped, very small - about 2 mm in diameter. Petals and sepals are combined as 6 tepals, ovate to elliptic in shape with the tips rounded to slightly pointed, united only at their bases. Stamens are erect but in two whorls of unequal length. with the anthers about 1/2 the length of the filaments. The pistillate flowers are similar in design to the staminate and have 6 staminodes (sterile stamens) with the anthers less than 1/2 the length of the filaments. The ovary is 2 to 3x the length of the perianth and has a 3-branched style.
Seed: Fertile flowers form a greenish-gold papery capsule, ovoid to more broad at the apex in shape, varying much in size, from 1 to 3 cm wide by 1 to 3.5 cm long. The capsule is 3-sectioned with usually 2 thin winged seeds per section. The capsule sections looking like wings. The capsule turns dark brown in the fall and opens along the seams of the section to release the seeds. The remains of the perianth and style usually still attached. Seeds require 60 days of cold stratification for germination.
Habitat: Wild Yam grows in partial sun to shade with wet-mesic to mesic moisture conditions. Shade all the time may not produce many flowers or capsules. Even in the full shade, the leaves are the decorative part of the plant. The root system is rhizomatous, the rhizomes brown in color, varying in shape from linear to highly contorted. The rhizomes branch and grow longer allowing the plant to put up multiple stems in an enlarging area, but it does not aggressively spread. Only a short 2 to 3 inch section is needed to start a plant. There is much literature on the medicinal effects of the root. See notes at bottom of the page. In the wild, the plant is found in woods and river-bottom forests and roadsides.
Names: The genus Dioscorea, is named for the 1st century Greek physician and herbalist Pedanios Dioscorides. The species name, villosa, means 'covered with soft hairs' which refers to the underside of the leaf. The author name for the plant classification - 'L.' refers to Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), Swedish botanist and the developer of the binomial nomenclature of modern taxonomy.
Comparisons: The Dioscorea are somewhat distinct with the drooping inflorescences of very small flowers on a vine with long-stalked leaves and 3-sectioned seed capsules that are usually winged. Other native species of Dioscorea are only found in the SE states of the U.S. and most introduced species of the genus are found in that same area. Several plants of the Smilax genus may have a similar appearance to Wild Yam, particularly Smilax tamnoides, Catbrier. Look also at the two Carrion Flowers, Smilax ecirrata, Upright Carrion Flower and Common Carrion Flower, S. lasioneura. Leaves and stems are somewhat similar, but not the flowers and seeds.

After much bleeding and refusal,
we may soften
and trust
the priestesses heart
to lead us
into the rainbow temple.
There, dissolved by the pain of letting go,
reborn, we break out
of the illusion of separation,
again and again
and learn to love afresh.
In love,
Katerfly

LISTEN NOW to Bob Marley, Redemption Song.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrY9eHkXTa4
Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my 'and was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but our self can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill de book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
