Conophytum uviforme

A small clump-forming Conophytum of the Namaqualand coast and lowlands in South Africa's winter-rainfall region. Like most of the genus it grows in the cool months and sleeps through summer, wedged in rock crevices; the key in cultivation is a dry summer rest and careful watering from autumn to spring.
