Native to Southern Africa, this species is characterized by its spiny, cylindrical stems that resemble cacti, hence its name ‘cactiformis’. The stems are adorned with prominent tubercles from which short, bristle-like leaves emerge. During its flowering season, the plant produces small, star-shaped flowers that add to its unique appeal.
