An extraordinary, highly coveted collector-grade specimen of Adenia globosa, native to East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia). Renowned for its massive, warty, spherical caudex, this impressive plant features a deeply textured, pale-green to grey-green skin studded with prominent lenticels. Erupting from the top are rigid, dark green, thorn-covered stems that create a striking geometric contrast.
