Caralluma europaea is a low perennial stem succulent forming mats by means of long stolons running underground, as the name suggests, it is a species of special interest, because it one of the two European species (the other being Caralluma munbyana).
The flowers are very variable throughout the vast distribution range, 6 to 25 cm in diameter, variably hairy and uniformly coloured to stripped. This floral polymorphism has led some authors to describe a lot of unnecessary varieties.
