Trichodiadema Hirsutum
''Trichodiadema'' is a genus of succulent plants of the family Aizoaceae. The name "Trichodiadema" comes from the ancient Greek "τρῐχός" (hair, bristle) and "διαδεμα" (crown). They come from Cape Province in South Africa. Description Trichodiadema are small, short-stemmed succulents with small, elongated, alternating sections measuring 8 mm long. They are grey and green. At the apex of each alternating section is a ring of small bristles radiating around the center, that give the appearance of a cactus areola. The flowers look like daisies, with red, pink or white petals, earning them the nickname "Desert Rose". Two species however, ''Trichodiadema aureum'' and '' Trichodiadema introrsum'', have flowers that are yellow. Cultivation The plant requires sun exposure (although not too intense), and well-drained soil. Propagation is by division of the clumps. Propagation by cuttings is difficult, because of the risk of rot. ''Trichodiademum densum'' has gained ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trichodiadema Densum
''Trichodiadema densum'' is a succulent flowering plant in the fig-marigold family Aizoaceae, native to the Willowmore region of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Description It is a small, dense, compact, clumping shrub. The leaves are packed densely along the stems (the internodes are scarcely visible) and each leaf is tipped with a diadem of ''ca.'' 20 white radiating bristles. The flowers are reddish in colour, with filamentous staminodes at the centre. The pale fruit capsule has six locules (not five like ''Trichodiadema burgeri, T. burgeri''), each with very well developed covering membranes. This species very closely resembles ''Trichodiadema burgeri'', which is more elongated and has five locules.H.E.K. Hartmann and I.M. Niesler. (2013). ''A new morphological study of the genus Trichodiadema (Aizoaceae) permits the description of a new subgenus, t. subg. Gemiclausa.'' Bradleya 31:58-75.

Trichodiadema Burgeri
''Trichodiadema burgeri'' is succulent plant of the genus ''Trichodiadema'', native to the Western Cape Province, South Africa, where it is known from the Ladismith and Oudtshoorn regions, extending southwards towards Mossel Bay. Description A small, erect, clumping shrub. The imbricate leaves are tipped with up to 14 white radiating bristles (the typical diadems of the genus). The flowers are pink-to-reddish in colour, with filamentous staminodes at the centre. The flower stalk and base are covered in thick hairs.

The pale fruit capsule has five locules (not six like '' T. densum'' or '' T. marlothii''), each with very well developed covering membranes. This species very closely resembles ''Trichodiadema densum'', which is more compact and has six locule A locule (plural locules) or loculus (plural loculi) (meaning "little place" in Latin) is a smal ...

Trichodiadema Hallii
''Trichodiadema hallii'' is succulent plant of the genus ''Trichodiadema'', native to the Ladismith and Calitzdorp areas of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Description A very small, erect shrublet, up to 6 cm tall in habitat, taller in cultivation, with tuberous roots. The leaves are stiff and hard, and densely packed along the stems so that the internodes are not visible. They are covered in long epidermal cells that have robust papillae. The leaf tips have about 10 orange-brown bristles in an erect inclining diadem. The diadem bristles are an easy feature for identification, as this is the only species that has erect inclining diadems that are orange-brown (The diadems of '' Trichodiadema orientale'' and ''Trichodiadema mirabile'' are also erect-inclining, but are dark brown). The flower stalks are another easy feature for identification, as they are extremely short and often cannot be seen at all. The flowers are pale pink to white, with petals in two se ...

Trichodiadema Gracile
''Trichodiadema gracile'' is succulent plant of the genus ''Trichodiadema'', native to the Western Cape Province, South Africa, where it is common on dry, rocky hillsides in the Overberg region. It occurs in the regions of Caledon, Bredasdorp, Potberg and Swellendam. Description A small shrub, with several trailing stems (20 cm). The branches are gracile and spindly, with long, slender internodes (10–15 mm).
