Adromischus mammillaris

A small leaf succulent from the Cape Provinces of South Africa, with short upright stems and cylindrical leaves. Very few wild records exist, so its needs are inferred from the genus and one climate site: bright light, a gritty mix, and careful water around a cool winter and a hot summer.
