Adromischus subdistichus

A small, rarely documented leaf succulent from the southern Karoo margins of the Eastern and Western Cape, near Willowmore and Steytlerville. Its climate gives hot summer days, frosty winter nights and light rain in every month. Grow it like other Karoo Adromischus: in bright light and gritty mineral soil, kept drier when nights are cold.

The records carry no elevations. The climate sites are at about 900–1,100 m.
