does anyone know anything about this tree.  a colleague of mine wishes to go to
madagascar, and while he is there he wishes to check this treee out.  Diderea
trollii is apparently a true cactus, it is also thought to be present as a
native in north amereica as well as madagascar!!  if anyone knows anything about
this tree, especially about when it flowers, seeds or its habitat peculiarities,
i would be most interested to hear from you.

thanx in advance
