Lithops
N.E. Brown 1922

Etymology: From the Greek: lithos (stone) and ops (form).
Place of Origin: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and some in Angola.

Often called "living stones," they are neither cacti nor stones. They consist of two thick, fused leaves that give them the appearance of a small rock. They perfectly mimic the colors and patterns of their natural surroundings, allowing them to camouflage. They produce spectacular white or yellow flowers, and much of the plant remains buried to conserve water. They are highly adapted species to arid climates.
