5 RARE SEEDS Pachypodium densiflorum - Succulents - Bonsai

Pachypodium densiflorum is a succulent shrublet with a swollen stem that can attain a diameter of up to 2m and a height of about 70cm. It carries many short and upright, spiny branches. The flowers are yellow or sometimes tinted deep yellow and orange and appear in springtime. The leaves are elliptic, dark green above and paler below. The plants grow in southern, central and northern Madagascar on granite outcrops at altitudes of ± 1 500 m. This variety is distinguished from Pachypodium densiflorum var. brevicalyx by the shorter calyx of the latter. The corolla opens out almost flat, with a saucer-like depression in the centre in a deeper yellow than in Pachypodium rosulatum.
