Pachypodium enigmaticum (New species)

The name of the species refers to the “enigma” that was created when this specimen was found in a district of Madagascar, since according to some it was an already existing species, while only later it was confirmed that it was a new one. Consisting of a massive greenish-white caudex, initially round and thorny at the top, it tends to later grow taking on the most varied and extravagant shapes. From the tuber come out lanceolate and pointed leaves, of a beautiful light green, which arrange themselves in a radial pattern starting from the top giving life to an extremely decorative complex, even more so when it is adorned with its large bright yellow flowers.
