Endemic to the spiny forests of southern Madagascar, this extraordinary species develops tall, upright stems lined with paired spines and small, rounded leaves during the growing season. Although it resembles the North American Ocotillo, the two are unrelated—an exceptional example of convergent evolution, where plants from opposite sides of the world independently evolved strikingly similar forms to thrive in arid environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"941\"\u003e🌵 \u003cstrong data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"941\"\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"956\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"959\"\u003eProvide bright light to full sun.
