    Caudiciform from southern Madagascar. Develops an underground caudex which can be raised for visibility. The plants are spineless, densely branched with semi deciduous leaves that vary in shape from long ovals to spoon shaped. Tiny yellow flowers and green seed capsules throughout growing season.
