Dinteranthus
Schwantes 1939

Etymology: In honor of the German botanist Kurt Dinter (1868–1945).
Place of Origin: Namibia and northern South Africa.

Compact in appearance, with fleshy leaves that give them a strong resemblance to small stones, helping them blend into their arid environment. To enhance their camouflage, the various species are adapted to match the color of the terrain they inhabit, making them nearly undetectable. Their leaves, typically arranged in pairs, display colors ranging from greenish-gray to brown, often with speckled patterns. They bloom in summer or autumn, producing striking flowers in yellow or orange tones. They require full sun, minimal watering, and a very well-draining substrate. Although they bear a notable resemblance to Lithops, they maintain slight differences in appearance from this genus and, most importantly, a distinct habitat.

Main Taxa

Dinteranthus vanzylii ((L.Bolus)Schwantes 1951)

Composed of pairs of very fleshy leaves fused at the base, giving the plant a globular appearance with mottled gray-green tones, adapted to blend in with the terrain. It produces yellow diurnal flowers in spring. It grows in well-drained, arid, and rocky soils, tolerating low rainfall. Its slow growth habit and leaf arrangement allow it to conserve water and withstand the intense heat of its desert habitat. More Information
