Xerosicyos
''Xerosicyos'' is a flowering plant genus of the family Cucurbitaceae. Its name comes from Greek ''xeros'' (meaning "dry") and ''sicyos'' ("cucumber"). There are three species, all endemic to Madagascar. ''Xerosicyos danguyi'' is a large liana with thick stems and round, gray succulent leaves. It is common in cultivation and often called the "Silver Dollar" vine. ''Xerosicyos perrieri'' is also a liana with thinner stems and smaller, ovate green succulent leaves. ''Xerosicyos pubescens'' is entirely different from the previous species. It forms a large caudex from which deciduous vines emerge. The leaves are lobed and semi-succulent and die back in the dry season and during prolonged periods of drought. == references ==
