Aizoon neorigidum

A rarely recorded, stiff-branched succulent shrublet from the dry western Cape, formerly known as Galenia rigida. With only three wild records and little published detail, these conditions are inferred from the sites and from related species: full sun, a gritty mix, and water mainly in winter.

Where it grows wild

Arid scrub on stony or sandy ground in the winter-rainfall west. This is inferred from three localities and from the genus.

Records carry no elevation. The climate sites lie at about 150 m, 220 m and 1,000 m.
