It is endemic to Baja California Sur, Mexico, where it can be found twining and climbing over trees, shrubs, and rocks.
Endemic to the state of Baja California Sur in Mexico, this species is found from the vicinity of Loreto south to the Cape region of the Baja California peninsula. It is also found on several islands in the Gulf of California.
The fleshy roots of the plant are edible.
