This member of the Apocynaceae
family was described by John Gilbert Baker in 1886. It
is found on Madagascar, growing in a well drained soil with some
water and some sun. The stem will grow up from 30 to 200 centimetres in
diameter and reach a height of 90 centimetres. The flowers are
yellow. The genera name
from Greek; pachys; 'thick' and Greek podion; 'small
foot' for the thick caudiciform trunk, formed by some species. The
species name means 'densely flowered'. Not the ones I have seen.... |
