Halliophytum Capense

Cape almond, scientifically known as Halliophytum capense, is a unique and lesser-known plant native to South Africa. This small shrub is characterized by its distinctive yellow flowers and spiny leaves, making it both visually striking and somewhat defensive in nature. While not commonly cultivated, it holds cultural significance among local communities and is valued for its ornamental qualities. Its ability to thrive in arid conditions has made it an interesting subject for botanical research. Despite its beauty, it remains a rare and underappreciated species in the world of horticulture.
