Cylindrophyllum calamiforme
Cylindrophyllum calamiforme is a succulent species native to South Africa, specifically adapted to arid and semi-arid regions with sandy or rocky soils. This low-growing plant features cylindrical, fleshy stems. The flowers are daisy-like with numerous narrow petals, most commonly yellow, and they open fully in bright sunlight. Cylindrophyllum calamiforme belongs to the group of "mesembs," a diverse collection of South African succulents prized for their unique growth forms and showy flowers. These plants are often grown by collectors for their unusual cylindrical stems and striking floral displays. Photographed in Lima, Peru.
