In Omani studies: Miller & Morris (1988) wrote that: "Rhytidocaulon fulleri does not apparently occur commonly enough for it to have been given a specific name. Specimens shown to local experts illicited the name deģúbsi, or duģebóš, the name for Echidnopsis planiflora (Echidnopsis scutellata subsp. dhofarensis). It is rare in Dhofar, being occasionally found in the dry areas outside the monsoon zone. The flowers and fruits as well as the stem when it is flushed green after rain, are all edible. But these plants are insufficiently common to have had any importance as nourishment". (Ref. Plants of Dhofar).
