Trachyandra saltii

Very peculiar succulent, characterized by a woody caudex that grows in a columnar way, sometimes branching like a small shrub formed by a sort of external paper protection generated by the previous dry leaves. From the woody complex grow long and lanceolate leaves, thin and of grassy consistency that take on a pleasantly drooping trend with growth. In the cold periods between the emerald green of the foliage, graceful white flowers bloom with streaks matching the foliar epidermis. A curiosity: it is one of the rare species considered pyrophilous, whose rhizome has managed to survive even in soils burnt by fires!
