Piaranthus

Nice and popular plant in collections, because of the profusion of yellow flowers it produces. The name is due to the stem segments that are ovoid or globose, light green and resemble a mass of tiny potatoes.

Numerous flowers of extraordinary beauty open simultaneously or at intervals from late summer to autumn. The corolla is ivory-coloured with fine reddish dots or bands, papillose, and features a vivid orange central corona.
