description_en: Genus of about 50 species of bushy, tree-like, or trailing, monoecious, perennial succulents from low to high altitudes in tropical E. Africa, Angola, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Some species produce annual growth from a subterranean, thickened tuber or caudex; others retain fleshy stems all year. The fleshy or scaly leaves may fall quickly. In summer, unusual, small, petalless, diurnal flowers are borne in cup-like bracts within yellow, green, or brown-orange involucres. In areas where temperatures fall below 18°C (64°F), grow in a warm greenhouse. Elsewhere, grow in a rock or desert garden.
