In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents or sometimes water storage plants, are plants that have some parts that are more than normally thickened and fleshy, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. Wikipedia
Hoodia gordonii is a leafless spiny succulent plant native to South Africa Namibia. The flowers smell like rotten meat (unfortunately) are pollinated mainly by flies. There is no published scientific evidence that hoodia supplements work as an appetite suppressant. Jasjit Bindra, lead researcher for hoodia at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, states there were indications of unwanted effects on the liver caused by other components, which could not be easily removed from the supplement (au.pinterest)
