This member of the
Euphorbiaceae family was described by Peter René Oscar Bally
in 1959. It is found in
Angola, Malawi, southern Tanzania and Zambia, growing in a well drained soil with some water
and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow to five centimetres in
diameter, the whole plant up to six centimetres height - ten with the
caudex exposed. The flowers are white to light pink and green.
The genera name
from the Greek monos;
'one' and -aden; 'gland', referring to the solitary gland.
The species name means 'looking like Orobanche' for the
similarity of the flowering stems. |
