                               UCBG *Monadenium* (1033 words)
                                Some monadeniums have multiple involucres and in 
                                some the hoods flare out dramatically or become 
                                brilliantly colored, red or pink, but not many 
                                people would grow the plants solely because of 
                                their inflorescences. 
                                Monadenium rhizophorum, for example, still has 
                                relatively thin stems, divided but not entirely 
                                covered by elliptical, spineless tubercules, 
                                while in M. lugardae the stems have thickened to 
                                an inch across, grow largely upright and are 
                                arranged into patterns of diamond shaped 
                                tubercules. 
                                Monadenium ritchie has dome-shaped rather than 
                                pointed tubercules and in M. schubei the 
                                tubercules are so pointed that the plant seems 
                                to bristle with spines, even though the actual 
                                spines at the tubercule tips are small and 
                                harmless.
                                The Genus Monadenium (568 words)
                                Monadenium belongs in the Euphorbiaceae family, 
                                which contains about 320 genera and over 8000 
                                species of geographically widespread plants, 
                                which range from annual herbs to large trees. 
                                Throughout its area of distribution endemic 
                                species, varieties and forms of monadenium are 
                                numerous, with their habitat often being 
                                restricted to a singular hilltop. 
                                Many Monadenium have comparatively large 
                                rootstocks and a minimum of organs necessary for 
                                reproduction so that minimum energy is wasted on 
                                developing stems above the ground.
