Tylecodon leucothrix is a species of Tylecodon native to Eastern Little Karoo in South Africa. It was first described in Bothalia by Toelken in 1978.[1]
Flowers
[edit | edit source]Its flowers grow on a short stick, and are like many Tylecodon flowers. They have tubular flowers, usually white or pink, and the flowers have petals that bend outwards.[2]
Description of the plant
[edit | edit source]Tylecodon leucothrix is a caudiciform plant with fuzzy leaves. This plant goes dormant in the summer and has pentucles[check spelling] that are slightly sharp, likely to discourage herbivores.
