Description: Huernia brevirostrisSN|27746]]SN|27753]] var. parvipuncta, firstly described A. C. White & B. Sloane in 1937, is a local or morphological form of the widespread and variable Huernia thuretiiSN|27753]]SN|27746]]. Huernia thuretiiSN|27746]]SN|27746]] is very variable and many varieties with different degree of annulation of the disc and colouration of the corolla face was previously classified as different species, but most botanist agree on the fact that all the ones described until now, included Huernia brevirostrisSN|27746]]SN|27753]] var. parvipuncta, should all be included in the H. thuretii. The var. parvipuncta has a cream-coloured to yellowish corolla, rarely with a low annulus, with well marked and evenly spaced marron-red dots. However the distinguishing characteristics of var. parvipuncta, appear to fall within the natural variation of Huernia thuretiiSN|27753]]SN|27746]] and it should be synonymized with the latter.

Cultivation and Propagation: Huernia brevirostrisSN|27753]]SN|27753]] var. parvipuncta is easy to grow, it needs light shade to full sun (but tolerate shadow), very resistant to heat will also tolerate quite cold temperatures but avoid frost, best in a ventilated environment. It is quite resistant to the “Balck spot” disease of Asclepiads, Water regularly during the growing season, keep dry in winter. Use a gritty, well-drained soil.
Propagation: It is easily propagated by removing a cutting, sometimes with roots attached, in spring and summer, but seeds germinate readily if they are sown when fresh.
