Description

Some old Senecio sarcoides shrubs form a thick colony here, on low ground near a watercourse between hills west of Springbok in Namaqualand.

The many slender, woody branches of the plants have split mainly at ground level. The grey, woody stems are bare low down, contrasting against the dense, succulent leaf clusters, lush at the stem tips after winter rain (Le Roux, et al, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; iNaturalist).
