Cynanchum marnierianum (live succulent)

Cynanchum marnierianum (live succulent)

Native to Madagascar. It is a bushy sprawling stem-succulent with many, dark green or purplish leafless branches, covered by irregular tubercles and minute hairs. Looks and feels like rubbery, grey sticks and in the autumn, bright yellowish green lanternlike flowers sprout out of the entire length of each stem. Flowers, being five greenish-brown petals uniting at the tips are reminiscent of Ceropegia. Once the flowers start to fade, the little arms withdraw and look like little octopi. This is a fully grown plant.
