Ceraria
''Portulacaria'' is a genus of succulent plant, classified in its own subfamily Portulacarioideae in the family Didiereaceae. It is indigenous to southern Africa. Taxonomy The genus was previously placed in the family Portulacaceae, but according to molecular studies is part of Didiereaceae. It has further been revised when phylogenetic tests showed conclusively that genus ''Ceraria'' was located within ''Portulacaria'', and all ''Ceraria'' species have consequently been renamed and moved into this genus.

Didiereaceae
Didiereaceae is a family of flowering plants found in continental Africa and Madagascar. It contains 20 species classified in three subfamilies and six genera. Species of the family are succulent plants, growing in sub-arid to arid habitats. Several are known as ornamental plants in specialist succulent collections. The subfamily Didiereoideae is endemic to the southwest of Madagascar, where the species are characteristic elements of the spiny thickets. Systematics The family was long considered entirely endemic to Madagascar until the genera ''Calyptrotheca'', ''Ceraria'', and ''Portulacaria'' from the African mainland were included. Molecular phylogenetic analysis confirmed the monophyly of the family and its three subfamilies: The family is closely related to the New World family Cactaceae (cacti), sufficiently closely so that species of Didiereaceae can be grafted successfully on some cacti. Calyptrothecoideae Contains only one genus, ''Calyptrotheca'', with two specie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Portulacaria Pygmaea
''Portulacaria pygmaea'' (previously ''Ceraria pygmaea''), also known as the pygmy porkbush, is a small-leaved dwarf succulent plant found on the border between Namibia and South Africa. Description It is a small, compact, soft-wooded, dwarf shrub with Unisexual flowers(dioecious). Its blue-green leaves are semi-evergreen. Its tiny compact branches spread, and often droop, staying close to the ground. It also develops a thick caudex or root-stock, which has led to it being a popular bonsai specimen.
