Tortoise shell dragon, with light brown roots, was spherical when it was young, and the epidermis cracked after it became a plant, forming many independent small pieces, such as stacked stones, resembling tortoise shells, hence the name. The stem is green, tendril-like, and1~ 2m long. The leaves are heart-shaped, triangular and 6 ~ 7 cm long. The flowers are dioecious and small, with 10 ~ 15 flowers blooming in clusters, which will give off a light fragrance like candy, but the number of female plants is less than that of male plants. Kioskii is a deciduous vine, a typical representative of succulent plants with swollen stems, which is very strange and rare.
