Cactus Succulent
A clump-forming succulent producing 4- or 5-angled, grey-green stems to 6cm long, edged with conical spines. In late summer it bears succulent, star-shaped flowers, the points of which are yellow with burgundy stripes; these are set around a raised, glossy, wine-red ring. Huernia flowers have an unpleasant smell to attract pollinating flies
