Huernia guttata

A clump-forming succulent producing 4- or 5-angled, grey-green stems to 7cm long, edged with conical spines. In late summer it bears succulent, star-shaped flowers, the points of which are yellow with red dots; these are set around a raised, glossy, red-dotted ring. Huernia flowers have an unpleasant smell to attract pollinating flies
