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.

Euphorbia inermis


Euphorbia inermis is closely related to Euphorbia esculenta but the branches (fingers) are generally longer and thinner than those of the latter. In both species the tuberous root is distinct from the main stem and the bracteoles are woolly white.

The plants are distributed from around Uitenhage to the Fish River Valley. The peduncles of Euphorbia inermis are shorter than those of E esculenta and the styles are almost fully joined into a slender column.

Propagation is from seed.
