This member of the
Euphorbiaceae family
was given this name by Peter René Oscar Bally in 1959. It is found in Tanzania,
Zambia and Zaïre, growing in a well drained soil with some water and
some sun. The caudex can grow to seven centimetres in diameter, the entire plant
to fifteen centimetres in height. The flowers are pink to red - although some
seems to be rather white....
The genera name
from the Greek monos;
'one' and -aden; 'gland', referring to the solitary gland.
The species name means "Having veins or nerves" for the red lines in the
leaves. |
