Trichodiadema introrsum is succulent plant of the genus Trichodiadema, native to the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa . It occurs in the vicinity of the towns of Bedford, Grahamstown and Kirkwood.
The species grows as a slender shrublet, with yellow flowers and slightly recurved semi-terete leaves, each with a small, simple, white apical diadem of bristles. Its stems are covered in tiny white papillae, giving them a slightly rough texture.[2] [3]
