This member of the Bombacaceae* family was given this name by Degand in 1943. It
is found in the eastern part of Mexico and Guatemala, growing among
rocks in a well-drained soil. Quite some water when in growth, none in
winter. The caudex will grow to more than 50 centimetres, the stems
will reach ten meters or even more. The flowers are white to pink. It can only be reproduced by seeds.
*This family might been incorporated
in the Malvaceae
family now. Sub-family: Bombacoideae.
