HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Adromiscus marianae var. immaculata


Adromiscus marianae var. immaculatus is quite variable.

This specific variety, according to Mrs. Doreen Court, is widely distributed in southern Namaqualand extending to west of the Roggeveld Mountains.

Adromiscus marianae var. immaculata is a small plant with small leaves that are often warty, canaliculate above, and tapered at both ends.

The smooth leaved form pictured below, I take as var. immaculata based primarily on its distribution south west of the Roggeveld Mountains in the Tanqua Karoo.
