This fat based S African caudiciform plant has deciduous palmate or wrinkled lanceolote, somewhat glaucous leaves and a large (eventually possibly up to 8' across), green, swollen base, often wrinkled, with multiple stems shooting out of it, also green. Wonderful pot specimen (not too many climates in the US where it can be grown in the ground except in a greenhouse). Stems have sparse, long spines.
