Monadenium intermedium, P.R.O.Bally. |
This member of the Euphorbiaceae
family was described by
Nicholas Edward Brown in 1913.
It is found in north-eastern Tanzania, growing in a well drained soil with
some water and
some sun. The caudex can grow to four or even seven centimetres in diameter, the
annual stems from 45 to 75 centimetres height. The flowers are
white to crème coloured.
This was the first Monadenium
to be described. The genera name
from the Greek monos;
'one' and -aden; 'gland', referring to the solitary gland.
The species name means 'with curled or wavy margins' of the leaves -
given light enough. |
