Duvalia Haworth 1812
Named for Henri Auguste Duval (1777-1814) French physician and botanist.
Duvalia includes 22 species of creeping stem succulents from Southern Africa. Stems are frequently jointed. Flowers have a distinctive disc-like corona and a stipitate gynostegium.
Cultivation is relatively easy and similar to that for Huernia. The stems root at the joints as they spread across the soil. Propagation from cuttings or seeds.
