Pachypodium mikea from the Mikea Forest, south of Horombe, Madagascar is a species that eluded description for a long time. It was confused with Pachypodium gaeyii. The two species grow together and have similar cigar shaped shaped trunks. Pachypodium mikea has white flowers with yellow throats where gaeyii has cream colored flowers.




I love to see which Pachypodiums grow in our humidity. I’ve seen a lot in habitat but most are from winter rainfall areas of Africa and Madagascar.
