Cultivation

Grouped as a cactus or succulent by the genus Tylecodon, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: Native range not verified: no WCVP distribution with native status for this name, so records cannot be told from cultivation and no habitat climate is derived.

Natural habitat

Native range as published by WCVP.

Openly licensed records inside the range, framed on where they fall.

NativeNot verified.Reported present (native status not stated): Namibia; South Africa (W-Cape Prov., E-Cape Prov.)

Evidence usedNo verified native range for this name: WCVP has no entry with native status, and a checklist that only reports presence cannot tell a wild record from a garden one. The map shows 48 openly licensed records of 113 untested against any range; no map marker or climate is derived from them, and no sheet is built from them. 9 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km and stay on the map but off the climate.
