Pachypodium griquense

Closely related to P.succulentum, but has a smaller, whiter flower, and shorter, less whippy branches and a fat grunty caudex. Possibly worth trying outdoors in the perfect position. It works in S.Africa.

4.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK only if protected from winter rain.

Grown in equal conditions griquense has a spinier look at the tips, with shorter internodes between spines, compared to P.succulentum.

Flower is smaller and less pink. Here is a comparison of griquense (L) and succulentum (R).

Very dainty flowers.

Griquense tends to hold itself upright for a better bonsai look.
