Anacampseros (L.1758) Miniature creeping plants, with papery stipules on the smallest leaves, which sometimes take the form of hairs between the leaves. They form small, dense clusters. The leaves are extremely fleshy, arranged in rosettes or completely covering the stem. They produce pink or purple flowers and yield numerous small seeds. The stems are fleshy, sometimes with a caudex.
Portulacaria (Ecklon & Zeyher, 1837) Succulent, shrubby, or small arborescent perennial plants with fleshy stems and leaves. They bear small, hermaphroditic flowers with five free petals and sepals, arranged in inflorescences. The fruit is a capsule containing tiny seeds. Some species are highly valued for ornamental use, in bonsai, and in xerophilic landscaping, as well as for their drought tolerance.
