Glottiphyllum
Haw.1821.

Etymology: From the Greek "glotta" (tongue) and "phyllon" (leaf). The name refers to its leaves, which resemble tongues.
Place of Origin: Endemic to South Africa and Namibia.

Its thick, fleshy, smooth-textured, green, and flattened leaves, arranged in pairs, stand out. Its great capacity to store water allows it to survive in arid conditions. The plants form low, compact clumps and produce small yellow flowers reminiscent of daisies. It typically prefers poor, sandy soils. It is widely used in xeriscaping due to its ability to cover spaces and its drought resistance.

Main Taxa
glottiphyllum-oligocarpum- l-bolus-1924

Glottiphyllum oligocarpum ( L.Bolus 1924)

Elongated, fleshy leaves arranged in pairs, deep green in color with a slight curve. Forms very low clumps, almost ground-covering. Produces yellow flowers resembling daisies, typically in autumn. It is commonly found in arid, sandy, or rocky soils. Although it tolerates high sun exposure, it often seeks some sun protection under rocky ledges or other plants. It is widely used in xeriscaping due to its hardiness and ease of covering spaces.
Etymology: From the Greek oligo ("few") and the Latin carpum ("fruits"), in reference to its few fruits.
Place of Origin: South Africa, Western Cape province and to a lesser extent the neighboring ones.
