Psammophora
Dinter & Schwantes1926.

Etymology: From the Greek psámmos (sand)

phóros (bearer) that carries sand.

Place of Origin: Namibia and South Africa.

The most distinctive feature is its ability to trap sand on the surface of its leaves through glandular papillae. This adaptation serves as camouflage and protection against the sun. It typically forms low clusters of rosettes that produce daisy-like flowers in pink tones. It is highly adapted to extremely arid climates.
