  • Description

  • Notes

Pachypodium lamieri is a succulent shrub. This plant is not a plam, though somewhat palmlike in appearance. Easy to grow. Spiny, succulent, unbranched trunk 2-4 ft.high is topped with a circle of strap-shaped leaves to 1 ft. long and 1-4 in. wide. Saucer-shaped white flowers to 4 in. wide are seldom seen; they usually appear only on large, old plants.
