Pachypodium

Family Kutrovykh. Native to the island of Madagascar and southern Africa. These are tree-like plants with a thick (succulent) stem covered with spines like those of a cactus, and long narrow leaves that fall during the dormant period. The advantage of this plant, unlike cacti, is that it does not require a cold winter rest. Overall this is an undemanding plant.
