Hoodia gordonii is a rare, spiny succulent native to the deserts of southern Africa, famed not only for its striking appearance but also for its traditional use as an appetite suppressant by the San people.

A slow-growing and drought-tolerant plant, it’s prized by collectors of medicinal and unusual succulents.
