Fockea is a genus of succulent scrubs endemic to southern Africa, known collectively as water roots, a reference to their characteristic bulbous caudex, which is edible in at least some species. Species include Fockea angustifolia, Fockea capensis, Fockea comaru, Fockea edulis, Fockea multiflora and Fockea sinuata.

Fockea edulis is a caudiciform vine, with a tuber that may reach up to 30cm in diameter in cultivation. It is said that the Hottentots used to eat the tuber. It is endemic to South Africa and flowers during summer. The flowers are green, about 1cm wide, not very showy, but lightly scented.

Though the name 'edulis' indicates the plant is edible, a long and elaborated cooking procedure is however required to rid the plant of the alkaloids which are present. We do not suggest plants for consumption.
