Thulin, M. & Hjertson, M. 1995. Echidnopsis globosa sp. nov. (Asclepiadaceae‐Stapelieae) from Yemen. — Nord. J. Bot. 15: 261–262. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107–055X. The new species Echidnopsis globosa from rocky hillsides on limestone in the Hadramaut Region in Yemen is described and illustrated. It belongs to a group of species including E. squamulata from Yemen and E. ericiflora from Kenya, but is unique in the genus by its almost perfectly globose flowers.
