Distribution en: Tropical & S. Africa to Indo-China
Description en: Genus of about 150 species of prostrate or climbing, often deciduous, perennial succulents from semi-desert areas of Africa and Madagascar. They sometimes have trunk-like caudices, often with peeling "bark", and produce fleshy branches, with the leaves clustered at their tips. The leaves may be pinnate or 3- to 7-palmate, occasionally simple. In some species, resin exudes from the leaf undersides. Corymbs of pendent, cup-shaped to cylindrical flowers are borne in summer, followed by ovoid fruits, which usually contain only one seed each. In frost-prone areas, grow in a warm greenhouse; in warmer climates, grow in a desert garden.
Hardiness en: Frost tender.
Cultivation en:
Propagation en: Sow seed at 18-21°C (64-70°F) in spring. Root basal cuttings in spring.
