Antimima buchubergensis

A small, compact Antimima from the hyper-arid southern Namib, named for the Buchuberge in the Sperrgebiet. It lives on very little rain plus coastal fog, so it needs strong light, very sparse watering and a fast-draining mineral mix.

Where it grows wild

Recorded on rocky hills of the southern Namib; Antimima here grow as small cushions in stony ground and rock crevices among sparse dwarf shrubs.

The sites lie at roughly 550 to 1,050 m; few records carry an elevation.
