Conophytum semivestitum

A small cone-plant from South Africa's Cape Provinces with no georeferenced wild records, so its precise habitat is not documented here. Like nearly all Conophytum it should be treated as a winter grower that rests dry through the hot summer. The measured climate comes from a fallback site in the summer-rainfall interior and is probably not representative.
