Portulacaria namaquensis, synonym Ceraria namaquensis,[1] with the common names Namaqua porkbush and Namaqua portulacaria, is a species of succulent shrub, native to the border between the Cape Provinces of South Africa and Namibia.

[2] [3] It reaches heights of 1.3 to 1.8 meters, and typically has small, ovoid, club-shaped leaves.

[citation needed] The species was first described as Portulacaria namaquensis in 1862 by Otto Wilhelm Sonder.

[4][5] The natural habitat of this species extends along the Orange River valley, along the border between Namibia and South Africa.

In cultivation, it requires extremely well-drained soil, and is usually grown grafted onto a root-stock of the more resilient Portulacaria afra.
