Acrodon bellidiflorus
A compact mesemb with triangular dark green leaves and white to pale pink daisy-like flowers in autumn and winter, from the southwestern Cape between McGregor and Bredasdorp and the Klein Karoo. It grows mainly in the cooler months and likes full sun, a gritty mix and a slower, drier summer.
Where it grows wild
Low clumping succulent with a woody taproot, growing in renosterveld, coastal fynbos and grassland.
Only 4 records carry an elevation (43–150 m); Klein Karoo populations are likely higher.
