This giant member of the Apocynaceae
family was described by Friedrich Vierhapper in 1904. It is found on
Socotra, growing in grit or an other well drained soil with little
to some water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow up to 2,5 meters,
the whole plant up to 3,5 meter in height. The flowers are pale
pink. The larger
plants survives without much water, but to grow, they will need
some, just like the seedlings, which is depending on quite some
water. |
