This tiny member of the
Crassulaceae family was given this name by Peter
Vincent Bruynes in 1989. It is found in the shrubs of Little
Karoo, growing in a well drained soil with some water and some sun.
The short stem grow into a five centimetre ball, some claim it can
grow into a 20 centimetre plant, but that might be counting in the
inflorescence with the white flowers.
The genera name is an anagram of
Cotyledon; a closely-related genus. The species name means
'white-flowered'. |
