distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of one very variable species (sometimes considered to be 5 or 6 species) of perennial succulent found in semi-arid regions of the Arabian Peninsula and E. to S.W. Africa. The swollen caudex may be very low, with its base: partly underground, or may grow taller and be widely bottle-shaped. The irregular, spineless branches bear glossy leaves in spiral, terminal clusters, with salverform flowers varying in colour from rich red to pink or white. Where temperatures fall below 15°C (59°F), grow in a warm greenhouse or as house-plants; in warmer areas, grow in a desert garden. The milky sap that exudes from broken stems may irritate skin and cause severe discomfort if ingested.
