Morphological description

Many-stemmed shrub to 1 m tall and 0.6 m broad. Stems 0.1-1.0 m long, 25-50 mm thick, erect, grey-green to grey-brown; tubercles prominent, fused in lower half into 11-17 obtuse angles along stem, each tipped with a sharp spine 6-12 mm long. Inflorescences each with 1-4 flowers, opening successively; pedicel 8-30 mm long, 2-3 mm thick, oval in cross-section; sepals 5-6 mm long, 2-4 mm broad at base, ovate-lanceolate and overlapping at bases, acuminate, adpressed to corolla. Corolla (40-)50-100 mm diam., ± rotate, ± circular to quite clearly 5-lobed; outside pale flesh-coloured with darker veins; inside flesh-coloured to deep purple-red usually with darker veins, smooth to covered with small conical papillae (sometimes red around mouth of tube) each tipped with a bristle up to 2.0(-2.5) mm long; tube 1.0-1.5 mm long, 4.5-6.0 mm broad at mouth, containing most of gynostegium, formed entirely by annular thickening near base in otherwise ± flat corolla; lobes up to 15 mm long (excluding narrow tip), 50 mm broad at base, spreading, broadly ovate, abruptly narrowing to subulate point 3-6 mm long. Corona 1.5-2.0 mm tall, 4-6 mm broad, purple-black, glabrous, usually just touching side of tube at mouth, raised on very short stipe; outer lobes erect, entire and truncate or emarginate to bifid up to halfway down into ascending obtuse lobules <1 mm long, laterally fused for most of length to bases of inner lobes; inner lobes ±1 mm long, adpressed to backs of anthers and usually slightly exceeding them, linear to ± square, obtuse to truncate, with broad dorsal ridge near base connecting them to outer lobes.

Distribution

Hoodia gordonii is extremely widely distributed. It is found from the Brandberg in Namibia (about 21° S) southwards into the Northern and Western Cape, where it is of scattered occurrence over much of the Great Karoo to the Ceres Karoo in the south-west and the Prince Albert district (33°S) in the extreme south. It is found as far east as near Kimberley in the Northern Cape and near Fauresmith in the Free State. Generally H. gordonii avoids the winter-rainfall areas, only occurring towards their drier margins where some summer rainfall is received - for example it is hardly recorded at all from Namaqualand. Exceptions to this are found along the Doorn River from north of Tulpfontein to Doringbos, on the Ceres Karoo and along the northern margins of the Cedarberg. This is also the only area where it will be found occasionally growing on soils derived from sandstones. Apart from winter-rainfall, another limiting factor appears to be frost, to which H. gordonii is very susceptible. As a consequence, it is absent from many of the higher areas of the Roggeveld Plateau, for example. From: Bruyns, PV. 2005. Stapeliads of southern Africa and Madagascar, Vol. 1.
