This shrubby species, with its knobby, gray-black branches and trunk with shredding yellow-gray bark, is from the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The branches are brittle and readily break, and they can be rooted. The leaves are cylindrical, relatively small, and green, and they tend to be clustered at the ends of the branches. The flowers are yellow and can be recurved upwards. These plants are rooted cuttings in one-gallon pots.
