A. adenostegia (previously Paropsia adenostegia) is the sole member of Androsiphonia. The oldest written record of A. adenostegia dates to 1904.[2] It is described as a shrub or small tree, growing up to 12 feet tall.[3] It is native to forest and rainforests of Sierra Leon, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and Ghana.[4] It has gray/green flowers and orange fruits.[3] It shows chemotaxonomic similarities with other members of Passifloraceae, supporting its classification, specifically production of Cyclopentenylglycines (2S,10R)-2-(20-cyclopentenyl)glycine.[5]

Its twigs can be used topically as an insecticide or chewed for dental health.[6]
