Hoodia

Group-forming with strange, large pinkish blooms! Hoodia has long been used by Southern African indigenous groups—infrequently—for indigestion and minor infections. A rare species.

A rare and striking species featuring a shallow cup- to disc-shaped red-brown flower with a pointed apex, up to 18 cm wide. Erect cactus-like stems are grey-green to brown-green, reaching 50 cm to 1 m tall.

An excellent hybrid between Hoodia and Trichocaulon. A particularly successful cross that blends the best traits of both genera.
