Description

A lesser-known member of the strange, mostly Madagascan family Didiereaceae, Alluaudia dumosa is unusual even among its odd relatives. Most Alluaudia species are tall, thick columns covered with long spines and multitudes of tiny succulent leaves often resembling ocotillo, which its common name Madagascar ocotillo references. This one instead grows as a loose, many-branched shrub with thin green stems that remain photosynthetic after the leaves drop. In the dry season it can look like a tangle of pale green sticks dotted with short spines. It lacks the imposing architecture of its relatives but makes a distinctive potted specimen that often draws the curiosity of those seeing it for the first time. These are seed-grown, not taken from cuttings like most of what you see offered for sale.
