Dioscorea is a genus of over 600 species
of flowering plants in the family Dioscoreaceae, native throughout the tropical and
warm temperate regions of the world. The vast majority of the
species are tropical, with only a few species extending into temperate
climates.[1][2][3][4] It is named after the
ancient Greek physician and botanist Dioscorides.

They are tuberous herbaceous perennial lianas,
growing to 2–12 m or more tall. The leaves are
spirally arranged, mostly broad heart-shaped. The flowers are
individually inconspicuous, greenish-yellow, with six petals; they are
mostly dioecious, with separate male and female
plants, though a few species are monoecious, with male and female flowers on the
same plant. The fruit is a capsule in most species, a soft berry in a few species.[5][6]
Several
species, known as yams, are important agricultural crops in tropical regions, grown for their
large tubers. Many of these are toxic when fresh, but can be detoxified and
eaten, and are particularly important in parts of Africa, Asia,
and Oceania (see yam article).
One class of
toxins found in many species is steroidal saponins,
which can be converted through a series of chemical reactions into steroid hormones for use in medicine and
as contraceptives.
