Black Bryony

In the West of Africa and some other tropical regions yams, the roots of some plants of the family of Dioscoreaceae are staple foods. The only member of this family in France, the Black Bryony (Tamus communis) also has a big root but it is not edible at all.


Roadsides and bushes are decorated by garlands of red-orange berries of this vine.

















The grey rag you see in the picture above has been green and glossy, a few months ago.
