Desert plant looking like a stone / chunk of dried wood

Question

I have seen both in a market and in a botanic garden a desert (?) plant which looks like a ball (20 cm diameter) of dried wood, with a lot of cracks/grooves, from the middle of which a small trunk (10cm) grows. Do you know the name?

You got me curious now, do you have a picture by any chance? — benn, Jun 14 '19 at 08:27
