Ceropegia dichotoma

A leafless-looking stick succulent endemic to the Canary Islands, forming clumps of jointed grey-green stems up to about 1.2 m in the dry coastal scrub. It grows in mild, frost-free, sunny conditions, bears small leaves and pale yellow flowers in the cooler, slightly wetter season, and goes almost dry through the rainless summer.
