Astroloba corrugata

A compact Little Karoo succulent with sprawling stems to 20 cm, densely covered in pointed leaves with roughened, tuberculate surfaces. It grows on shale and clay flats in the western Little Karoo, where light rain falls in most months, and it takes strong light, which turns it reddish.
