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. This might
be a winter grower. |
