Antimima alborubra

A low, shrubby mesemb from the Namaqualand lowlands of South Africa, one of many Antimima species that grow in the cool, winter-rain season. Give it full sun, a gritty mix, water in autumn to spring and a dry summer rest.

Where it grows wild

Like the rest of the genus it grows on open, stony or sandy ground in succulent Karoo shrubland. Little is published on this species; conditions follow the genus and the recorded sites.

No recorded elevations; climate sites run from near the coast at 35 m to about 530 m inland.
