Add to basketCondition: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. Second Edition. Volume three only of this three-volume set. Colour frontis. drawing; titles & contents list to front. Stapeliae (singular: Stapelia) is a tribe of low-growing, succulent plants belonging to the Apocynaceae family. These plants are native to Africa, primarily found in regions…such as southern Africa, Madagascar, and Arabia. Stapeliae are characterized by their distinctive star-shaped flowers that often have hairy or warty textures and emit a strong odor resembling that of .rotting meat. This odor attracts flies, which pollinate the flowers. Stapeliae plants are popular among succulent enthusiasts for their unique appearance and fascinating reproductive strategies. They typically grow close to the ground and have thick, fleshy sterns with four or five angles. Some species also produce interestingly patterned or textured stems, adding to their visual appeal. These plants are often cultivated for their unusual flowers and are relatively easy to care for in well-drained soil and sunny conditions. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 819 to 1186 + 23. One volume of the 3-volume set. Slight foxing front/rear pages, but body of book mostly clean and unfoxed. Gilt titles spine. illustrated by b/w. photo's. & full-page colour drawings. Includes 23-page index. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Natural History & Resources; Botany; Succulents; Plants; Gardening. Inventory No: 5264.
