Stems very stout, and rather succulent than woody, wrinkled 
when dry, and clothed with a dark olive-coloured shining bark, 
bearing numerous warty excrescences, from whence the leaves 
and flowers arise. These flowers in our specimen are all male; 
_ and they, as well as the leaves, are very much smaller than in 
the plant of Ortega and Cavanilles.
