Hoodia gordonii is a conspicuous spiny cactus-like succulent with angular stems widespread from the Great Karoo (Parts of W. Cape) Tanqua Karoo and further north to Bushmanland (Mainly the N. Cape) and dry southern and central parts of Namibia. The genus Hoodia consist of 14 species mainly confined to South African and Namibia and with the exception of H. parviflora all are edible. The small flowered species were previously accommodated in the genus Trichocaulon. Most are refer to as Ghaap and were used as by the indigenous peoples as food or medicine. According to Smith (1966) in Common Names of South African Plants this species as a food and medicine was regarded as inferior to the true Trichocaulon (the small flowered Hoodia species). Nevertheless, Ghaap prior have been utilized by the indigenous Khoi and San people for food and medicine and later by the local white farmers. The largest of the species are Hoodia parviflora (leeughaap) an inedible species from northern Kaokoveld (N. Namibia).
