We previously offered this plant as an undescribed species from Zimbabwe. Susan Carter recently placed it within the species E. limpopoana, described by her in 2000. It has square, yellow-green stems that are very spiny. These plants form a small caudex, and the plant branches from the base. The cyathia are yellow and cluster densely at the ends of the stems. These are rooted cuttings in 4-inch pots.
