In habitat it grows to about 5 cm tall (more in cultivation). It produces a new flush of silvery green, remarkably nice, decorative crisped and crenulate leaves in spring turning to autumnal golden before they shed. The inflorescences are held on long straight erect spreading peduncles (flower stalks) twice as long as leaves. These are greenish, flat, disk-like in longitudinal section with a row of star-like appendages on the margin of the receptacle. The receptacle bears both the ovaries of the female flowers, and the anthers of the male flowers. Unlike \u003ci\u003eD. foetida\u003c\/i\u003e that often grows as an annual or bi-annual \u003ci\u003eD. horwoodii\u003c\/i\u003e remains strongly perennial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BotanicalCollector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47358614012157,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/3552\/4605\/files\/dorstenia-horwoodii_19_048f3f6c-5110-4bf4-bb62-8a1bb4d274b0.jpg?v=1775570323","url":"https:\/\/www.botanicalcollector.com\/products\/dorstenia-horwoodii-1","provider":"BotanicalCollector","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
