Description: From Tanzania Huernia schneideriana is a very attractive species that was once thought to be a natural hybrid of Huernia verekeri and Huernia aspera, but is now recognised by some authorities as a legitimate species in its own right. The flowers are burgundy, but almost black inside the tube, about 3 cm and velvety. Both Huernia schneideriana and Huernia macrocarpa have those coloured flowers and similar stems.
Stems: Slender, 5-20 cm long, but longer in culture, 6-7 angled, teeth inconspicuous,.
Flowers: Corolla, campanulate 2,5-3 cm across, more or less brownish/red outside and velvety- reddish /black inside with deep purple-black centre. Margins, margins reddish to flesh coloured, with a brownish-red papillose border, lobes recurved. There appears to be a clone in circulation, here identified as aff. schneideriana with smaller distinctly red flowers. |
