Where it grows wild

Antimima grow in rocky and gravelly ground in the Succulent Karoo and Nama Karoo, often in quartz gravel or rock crevices. The record lies in the very dry country north of the Orange River; habitat detail is generalised from the genus.

The single recorded site is near 1,190 m.
