Adenium multiflorum is small,
The leaves are simple, with smooth edges, typically oppositely arranged.[4] The flowers, which appear in winter, are typically 5-petaled and may be red, pink, white, or bi-color.[5] The two-capsuled fruits contain long, grooved, hairy brown seeds.[4]
Sometimes called the impala lily, A. multiflorum requires full sun and excellent drainage. It is extremely
drought tolerant, but susceptible to the tobacco whitefly.[6] Though frequently used as a bonsai plant indoors, it may be grown outside in USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11.[7]
It is sometimes treated as a variety or subspecies of Adenium obesum.[2]
