Artist Hybrid / Gherkin Fine spined gherkins resemble handling a small hedgehog, but the skin is tender, the taste is not bitter -raw or pickled. This fruit is parthenocarpic ( does not require pollination), fairly consistent in size, and is highly resistant to Cucumber Mosaic Virus, with additional resistance to other common cucumber diseases. The vines are indeterminate in length. Seeds will probably NOT come true to the parent plant.

Attractive bottle-shaped or shrubby Pachypodium from Madagascar with lots of branches and yellow flowers. Old plants are spectacular. Larger plants in cultivation are pricey.

Various subspecies of rosulatum have been named, with distinct geographical origins, growth habits, and floral features. Some of these subspecies have since been elevated to species level, but will be found in older publications under rosulatum. These include the low, wide Pachypodium bicolor (yellow flowers with a white tube); the low-bottomed Elephant's Foot Plant (Pachypodium cactipes) ; the spherical/bottle-shaped and few-branched Elephant's Foot Plant (Pachypodium gracilius) ; and the globose, short-stemmed Pachypodium makayense.

The CoL currently recognizes 2 subspecies of rosulatum: the wide, shrubby Pachypodium rosulatum subsp. rosulatum, from northwestern Madagascar, and the globose to bottle-shaped Pachypodium rosulatum subsp. bemaharense, from western Madagascar).

Takes a little while to establish, but well worth the wait for its huge, showy yellow blooms.
