Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An easy to grow stapeliad with yellow flowers. Don't think spelling makes any difference? Named for Justus van Heurne (1577-1652), his name was mis-spelled by Robert Brown and, in accordance with botanical naming rules, he is forever remembered by a mis-spelling of his name. This particular species has more than it's share of names given to it. We'll stick with this name for now.
