This distinctive succulent is endemic to the area I'm now in. It
ranges in height from about 2,5 to 5 meters and occurs in dry
rocky deserts, among boulders and stony hillsides. The name
"Halfmens", translated from Afrikaans means 'Half Person' - or
'almost human'. According to local legend, these trees are half
man and half plant. This makes sense because, when seen against
the skyline from a distance, they could easily be mistaken for
humans. An unusual feature of this plant is that the tip of the
stem always inclines towards the north. Related Post: Halfmens
