About Pachypodium densiflorum Baker

Pachypodium densiflorum Baker grows from a large, fleshy basal caudex. Shoots that emerge from the caudex branch regularly, and spines are present on the youngest sections of these shoots. Leaves grow at the top of the shoots during active growing seasons; they are lanceolate in shape and deep green in color. This species produces yellow flowers that grow on long peduncles.
