This member of the Geraniaceae
might not been called Monsonia yet, but if F. Albers are
right, it will be. It is found in Southern Namibia, growing in a
well drained soil with little water and lots of sun. The stems can
grow to two and a half centimetre in diameter and the whole plant up
to 30 centimetres high.
*) This Monsonia/Sarocaulon
was not discovered when F.
Albers changed the Sarocaulons into Monsonias
in 1996, and might actually only have been described and named
Sarcocaulon lavrani
byJosef Jakob Halda in 1997.
