Known from the town of Muden in KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa, this is a very nice species that we like a lot. It has nice variegated markings on its square spiny stems. We’ve had this growing outside in Tucson for about 10 years, where occasionally it is frost-pruned. The yellow cyathia are pretty spectacular for us in springtime. We offer rooted cuttings of this species in 8-inch pots.
