    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Known as the Slipper Plant or "Gallito", from the Sonoran Desert in Mexico and Baja, this is a leafless succulent shrub which sometimes produces crested stems. Our primary interest is in these crested forms. For those of us who can't plant them outside, they make a cool pot specimen. It's a dry-land shrub, so don't over-water. It gets its common name from the shape of its flowers.
