Really? As far as I can see it is just a vine which grows in high rainfall areas with somewhat fleshy roots. I'm still rather dubious this qualifies as succulent!

However, I have to concede it is in the Encyclopedia of Succulent Plants...

I would eat the seeds rather than sow them - very tasty and nutritious :wink:
