Pachypodium is a genus of succulent, spiny plants native to Madagascar and RSA. Characterized by their thick, water-storing stems and striking, often branching forms, these plants are well-adapted to arid environments. The leaves are typically sparse, and some species shed them entirely in dry seasons. Pachypodiums produce unique, trumpet-shaped flowers ranging in color from white to pink. The genus has garnered botanical interest due to its diverse morphology and adaptation to harsh climates.
It is a rare succulent plant of a caudiciform shape. Its light gray trunk is covered with thorns, as well as with lanceolate leaves, sprouting from the apex. The foliage is dark green with a central strip of a creamy white color, the lower surface takes on purple shades. As P. cactipes grows, it tends to branch out, producing numerous short but thick branches. In winter, its canary yellow flowers bloom. In the period of vegetative rest it loses its leaves, leaving a baron grey plant.
