A pachycaul native to Madagascar where it attains tree-like dimensions. In cultivation it responds to pot size and will remain dwarfed if kept in smaller containers. The silvery trunk is thick and covered with heavy spines and is crowned with light green, six to ten inch leaves.

Very easy to cultivate and useful in xeriscaping in frost free areas. Makes a good house plant, and often goes by the name of ‘Madagascar Palm’ but of course, it is not palm at all.

A really nice, short, fat species from Madagascar with stiff conical spines covering the caudex and branches. The deciduous foliage is stiff and light green. One of the showiest bloomers of the genus, producing a profusion of bright yellow bell-shaped flowers with flaring corollas. Blooms in small containers, never gets too big.
