|

 | Euphorbia
The Family Euphorbiacea is one of the largest plant families and comprises many genera.As far as the succulent plant enthusiast is concerned the main genera of interest are Euphorbia and Monadenium. The genus Euphorbia covers a wide and diverse range of plants with the succulent species being found in most of the five continents and showing modes of growth from small geophytes to shrubs of all sizes to large trees.Our range of succulent Euphorbias is probably one of the most comprehensive in the country and covers plants from South Africa and Madagascar as specialities.Euphorbias are a must for every serious succulent enthusiast and we are sure you will find something of interest to add to your collection. |

 | Monadenium
This genus has now been re classified as Euphorbia but I feel that there is sufficient variation to maintain the name Monadenium.They can be readily identified by the distinct flower and the plants can take many forms from small geophytic plants to large shrubs.All species are worthwhile to grow , some a little more difficult than others. |

 | Pachypodium
Pachypodium is a member of the Family Apocynaceae which includes over 200 genera and 2000 species of mainly tropical trees and shrubs.The main characteristic of these plants is their flower form and fruits which develop into a pair of horn like pods packed with seeds.Pachypodium species are showy succulent plants with fairly large brightly coloured flowers in white, red or yellow.The genus has 23 species of which 5 can be found in Southern Continental Africa and 18 in Madagascar.Of the Madagascan species some have only been recently discovered and there are some who would place certain species as varieties of a species.All the Madagascan plants we list have been given the newer species name.Pachypodiums are one of the most sought after genus and our selection is fairly comprehensive and ranges from fairly easy to the more difficult plant. Try some for yourself you will not be disappointed with the shape and form of these unusual plants. |
