Adenium arabicum
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Adenium arabicum is a species of succulent plant commonly used for bonsai and cultivated for its shiny leaves, growth form and flowering characteristics. Common names include desert rose, elephant's foot, and Adanah bush.[1] They are monoecious and self-sterile.[2] A. arabicum is native to Yemen and Saudi Arabia.[3]
The leaves of this species have a broad surface. Leaves also tend to be large and somewhat leathery in appearance. Growth form is squat and fat, with a definite caudex and without much differentiation between trunk and branches.[2] Bark may appear a purplish to dark brown color. Flowers range from pink to reddish pink. They are tubular, often appear for 2-3 days, and may appear before the leaves.[3]
A. arabicum prefers full sun, and is suitable for US hardiness zones 10 and 11.[1]
