Conophytum khamiesbergense

A small cone-plant named for the Kamiesberg in Namaqualand, in South Africa's winter-rainfall Succulent Karoo. Like most Conophytum it grows in the cool, moist months and rests through the hot, dry summer. No wild GBIF records were usable, so the profile relies on the genus and the Kamiesberg climate rather than the measured site.

Where it grows wild

Most likely grows in crevices and shallow pockets of soil on granite or gneiss outcrops in the Kamiesberg, partly shaded by rock, as is usual for the genus.

The Kamiesberg rises to about 1,700 m; the exact elevation is not recorded.
