Acrodon caespitosus
A small, mat-forming ice plant from the southern coast of the Western Cape, with short three-angled leaves tipped with small teeth and pink to white daisy-like flowers. It grows in a mild, maritime climate with rain spread through the year, so it needs bright light, cool nights and moderate, even watering.

Little is published on this species; Acrodon grows in low open fynbos and renosterveld on shallow, stony or limestone-derived soils in full sun.
