Sarcocaulon crassicaule Seeds ~ Bushman Candle, Groot Kersbos - Indigenous Succulents

Sarcocaulon crassicaule Seeds

Sarcocaulon crassicaule is a beautiful bonsai type species with chunky sparsely spined stems and one the most unusual and interestingly members of the Geraniaceae family. It has large spines and white or yellow flowers. They are commonly called bushmans candles due to the translucent flammable wax coating covering the stems of these plants so they will burn even when stems are not dry.

The thick waxy layer protects it from moisture loss as well as damage from wind-blown sand allowing the plants to withstand the harsh extremes of climate found in the western parts of S. Africa and Namibia. The waxy coating over time polishes the stems a golden-brown colour.
