This plant grows primarily in the dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, and America. Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh are among the Indian states where it grows.

Physiology

Plants with this species have triangular, fleshy leaves with serrated edges, yellow tubular flowers, and numerous seeds in their fruits. Glucomannans, amino acids, lipids, sterols, and vitamins make up the rest of the leaf’s interior. Anthraquinones and glycosides are found in the middle layer of latex. In addition to its protective function, the rind synthesizes carbohydrates and proteins. Xylem (water) and phloem (starch) are transported through vascular bundles within the rind.
