Description
This taxon was discovered in the mid-1990s in Tanzania and is in the trade as Adenium somalense var. nova. In nature, the caudex is globular and buried underground, with erect, barely succulent stems about 4 feet tall (1.2 m). In cultivation, seedlings develop a short-conical caudex that is partially exposed. The plants grow fairly rapidly and make a large caudex compared to the size of the plant in a few years. The small flowers start appearing sparsely at the end of the growing season in fall, followed by a more profuse bloom through the winter while the plants are leafless. They are pink to red at the edges, fading to a white throat with prominent nectar guides. The other appendages protrude slightly beyond the tube.
