Pachypodium bispinosum Crassulaceae The horizontal white bands are

The horizontal white bands are smeared and spotty

Plants can be grown with roots raised (giving a bonsai or caudiciform look) or below soil level (giving a pin cushion look)

These flowers have no strong scent

Fairly simple to grow

Monadenium magnificum An unusual species very closely related to Euphorbia

Pachypodium bispinosum Crassulaceae The horizontal white bands arePachypodium bispinosum A nice shrubby caudiciform species of Pachypodium. Said to be the most floriferous species. Very similar to P. succulentum but differs in the flowers and it seems to make more small branches (which is nicer in my opinion). Not difficult to grow. Experiences light frost in its native South Africa, but any hard frost can kill it. Likes water during the growing season as long as it is in well drained soil. Should be kept fairly dry
