South Africa. Gasteria are named for
the stomach like flowers. A genus of slow growing, drought
resistant, shade tolerant plants, first described as a genus
by Duval in 1809. Grown primarily for their architectural
leafs but the stomach flowers which are mainly hues of red
with red tubes are quite attractive in their own right.
