Six species are accepted. •
Xerosicyos decaryi •

Xerosicyos perrieri is also a liana with thinner stems and smaller, ovate green succulent leaves. •
Xerosicyos pubescens is entirely different from the previous species. It forms a large
caudex from which deciduous vines emerge. The leaves are lobed and semi-succulent and die back in the dry season and during prolonged periods of drought. •
