A reply: "In attached images leaf is much broader than long or can say that broader as longer, leaf size varies with ecology of surroundings or habitat, there is no define key on leaf size for Dioscorea. In every Flora (publication) we have different leaf sizes. Kindly check for *Dioscorea* *wallichii* Hook.f. which has similar kind of leaves (long=broad), also check the link below: http://www.kew.org/science-conservation/plants-fungi/dioscorea-wallichii-kruo Kind regards, Varun"
