The genus Quaqua falls within the family Apocynaceae. All stapeliads, including Quaqua, are old world stem-succulents. Species of the Quaqua genus are exceptionally varied and endemic to southwestern Africa, and locally very common in Namaqualand. They are usually characterized by having stout, firm, 4 or 5-sided stems bearing conical tubercles which often have a tough, tapering spike at their ends. A few species lack the spikes or have smoothly rounded tubercles. Quaqua flowers are distinctive from those of other southern African stapeliads for their numerous inflorescences emerging from each stem, especially closer to the tips. There are ten along each stem, vertically arranged in distichous series. The flowers themselves are typically sweet scented (faintly of honey or lemon), attractive and rather small. Some, however, reach a maximum diameter of 27 mm and are dark and papillate. They do well in rockeries and in pots.

Quaqua mammillaris, commonly known as Aroena, is a rare South African indigenous succulent and has leafless, toothed stems and brownish-red to black flowers from autumn to winter. It is best sown in autumn.
