[HAW] S. arborescens


The second in this series

S. arborescens is found in East Africa along the coast between Malindi and
Dar es Salaam to about 100 km inland. The stem, 1.5 to 2m high, is covered
on all sides with flattish, linear-lanceolate leaves up to 60 cm long. Its
very sharp leaf-spines and the large amoutn of space it takes up do not
recommend this species for small private collections in spite of its
unusual and bizarre apearance
