Fockea edulis

It is a succulent plant with a thick greyish caudex, which reaches up to 30 cm in diameter. It tends to grow faster, if hidden underground. It has thin branches, that can reach up to 80 cm in height, from which green and oval leaves emerge. It is a deciduous plant, which means that it loses all its leaves in winter (its vegetative period). In late summer, it blooms with small, slightly scented, whitish-green flowers.
