  • Pachypodium Namaquanum (Elephant's Trunk, Halfmens) Family Apocynaceae CITES Listing Appendix II Common Names Elephant's Trunk (Eng.); Halfmens (Afr.); Club Foot
    SANBI IDentifyIt - Species Pachypodium namaquanum (Elephant's trunk, Halfmens) Family Apocynaceae CITES Listing Appendix II Common names Elephant's trunk (Eng.); Halfmens (Afr.); Club Foot. Geographic location / distribution / province Richtersveld (Northern Cape and southern Namibia) in the Gariep Region or Orange River region Distinguishing characteristics Description: A succulent plant that can attain a tree-like appearance when fully grown.Usually single-stemmed succulent plant or small tree, growing extremely slowly. The stem will grow up to 25 cm in diameter and the height may range between 1.5 and 2.5 m when fully grown; however, 4 and 5 m specimens have been observed. Stem: It has a cylindrical trunk, that thicksets at the base and tapering to the top that gives them an unmistakable bottle-like appearance when mature. The stems are mostly unbranched but may become branched from near the base or - where damaged - the trunk produces side-branches that immediately curve back to the vertical, while the very top of the plant is usually bent to the north. Spines: The stems are covered with warty tubercles (knob-like projections on the stem), from which sharp spines protrude in a slightly downward direction. The spines are more abundant along the top half of the plant and decrease toward the base where tubercles are more prominent. Fruit: Horn-like with twin pencil-thin tapering seedpods/capsules in a V-shape (joined at the base) up to 50 mm long. Short, soft and grey hairs densely cover the fruit.. These are pale brown and split down one side to release the wind- dispersed plumed seeds which are about 4mm long and are attached to a tuft of whitish hairs that act as parachutes.

Les Pachypodiums sont originaires pour la majorité de Madagascar, et quelques uns d'Afrique du sud et Namibie. L'attrait irrésistible de ces plantes réside dans leur formes très particulières et diversifiées, allant de la petite plante prostrée (Pachypodium brevicaule - Madagascar) à l'arbre de type 'baobab' au tronc renflé (Pachypodium rutenbergianum - Madagascar) et leurs belles fleurs très particulières. Elles peuvent être cultivées avec succès comme plante en pot dans les pays à climat tempéré. Cependant, même si leur entretien n'est pas très compliqué, ces plantes 'étranges' ne peuvent être cultivées avec succès sans un minimum de connaissance des conditions de culture et des soins à leur apporter. Il est important de considérer les Pachypodiums comme des plantes demandant une observation régulière et une connaissance des soins à apporter lors des différentes phases de leur cycle annuel. Par exemple, il ne faut pas penser systématiquement que la plante a besoin d'eau lorsque ces feuilles commencent à jaunir et tomber. La réaction dépendra de la saison pendant laquelle on observera cela. Il est important de prendre conscience que ce sont des plantes différentes des autres plantes que nous avons l'habitude de cultiver, et que même si elles ne sont pas difficiles à entretenir, il est nécessaire d'avoir un minimum de connaissances à propos de leur cycle de vie, de leurs besoins aux différentes périodes de l'année, des symptômes pouvant vous alerter à propos de tel ou tel problème, et des remèdes possibles.

Mike and I are back after a long (75 day) trip to South Africa and Madagascar. While in South Africa we had the opportunity to visit the west coast area and catch some of the last patches of Namaqualand blooms. The flowers were truly impressive, not just because of the sheer number of blooms per square meter, but also because of the diversity of colors and patterns. Many flowers have dark spots at the base of the corolla which look remarkably like small insects.
