description_en: Genus of about 15 species of freely branching, deciduous, succulent perennials and subshrubs from very dry areas of Angola, Namibia, and South Africa. Stem branches are armed with usually small thorns and have hard, resinous bark. The opposite leaves are of 2 types: primary, with long stalks that become spines, and secondary, with shorter stalks that may persist as blunt stumps in the axils of the primary leaves. Solitary, trumpet-shaped flowers are borne mostly from winter to summer. Where temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F), grow in a temperate or warm greenhouse or conservatory; in warmer climates, use in a desert garden.
