Found only in the Northwest of Namibia, Baynesia lophophora is a fairly new monotypic genus of Stapeliad. It is named for the the Baynes Mountains where it is found. It is apparently related to Caralluma and Rhytidicolon, the new Genus having features of each. Its flowers are pendant and very small, little more than a 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch across. It made the flower picture somewhat difficult to capture.
