Caramel

Succulent type: Leaf succulent (Stores water in its leaves)

This modest-sized leaf succulent grows up to 56 feet (17.1 meters) tall. The perforated stem is moss green, and is covered in sharp spines. The toothed-edged, circular leaves are caramel on the edges and bronze at the center. Small bunches of them grow from the base in a symmetrical pattern. The leaves are light, but do not detach easily.

It is fast growing, taking 6 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with solid lime petals and a black central disk grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of many petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight sphere. It has a weak scent that smells like citrus.

The leaf succulent's skin is thin, the silver flesh is smooth, and the green sap is thin and has hallucinogenic properties.
