Trichodiadema densum
Schwantes 1926

Etymology: From the Latin densus, referring to its compact growth.
Place of Origin: Cape Province, South Africa.

It forms a dense, stemless clump completely covered by leaves. These are thick and larger than in other species of the genus, each topped with the characteristic crown of spines. It is easy to cultivate. Purple-pink flowers appear in mid-winter. It has a thickened taproot that serves as a storage organ for resources. In its natural habitat, the bristles on the leaves act as moisture condensers, aiding survival in dry environments.
