}}Hoodia flava is a succulent native to the Cape Province in South Africa and to Namibia.[1] It has a unique pattern of distribution, growing inside bushes or on gravelly slopes and hills.[2] It is commonly known as Ghaap or Yellow-flowered Ghaap in the Afrikaans language.[3]

Description

Leafless and branchless, H. flava grows as cylindrical green stems up to 6 inches in height and 2 inches in diameter, with 20-30 longitudinal ribs of mammillae, each one featuring a thin, brown spine on its crest.[3] Yellow flowers appear in winter on the youngest parts of the plants near the top.

Cultivation

This plant should be watered during its growing season and then sparsely otherwise.[3]
