Description
Huernia volkartii var. repens (Huernia repens) is distinguished from var. volkartii by its longer creeping stems with stem teeth very reduced and leaf-rudiments more or less deciduous. The flowers appear identical with many of those of Huernia volkartii, which will necessitate making H. repens a variety of it.
The stems are long, creeping round with rounded angles and undeveloped teeth. These stems are green during the rains but usually turn reddish brown in the dry winter months. The flowers, facing upwards, rarely prostrate or inclined on short peduncles to 10 mm long. Corolla outside cream-coloured, inside cream with deep pink transverse lines and dots, rough-papillose, the papillae mottled.
