Trichocaulon cactiformis SELECTED 6672 is a fascinating succulent belonging to the Apocynaceae family. Its most distinctive feature is the cylindrical, spiny stems that resemble ca cti, hence the name 'cactiformis'. These stems are densely covered in tubercles, each tipped with a sharp spine. This unique morphology allows the plant to thrive in arid environments by reducing water loss and deterring herbivores. Show more
