Hoodia juttae is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is endemic to Namibia.[3] Its natural habitats are rocky areas and cold desert. H. juttae is found around the Little and Great Karas mountains.[4] It is threatened by collection. The plant was discovered by Jutta Dinter, the wife of botanist, Kurt Dinter in 1913.[5] The scientific name refers to Jutta.[6]
Description
Hoodia juttae is small and branches freely into a small "shrublet."[5] The plant is often more broad than it grows tall, rarely being taller than 0.3 meters in height.[7] Flowers are medium-sized and yellow-brown in color[7] and grow in groups on the upper part of the pale gray-green stems.[8]
Cultivation
Hoodia juttae is best grown in mineral, acidic substrates.[8] The plant is best grown from seed or grafting of cuttings.[8] The plant can be hand-pollinated to generate seeds.[8]
