The "air yams" are bulbils produced along the vine - photographed here www.flickr.com/photos/hrichardellis/14940899700/in/photol... . It is considered an invasive species in Florida because the vines that you can see in this photo will strangle and smother surrounding vegetation. #Dioscoreabulbifera #Dioscorea #bulbifera #CUgreenhouse #botany
