Gunniopsis kochii

A small succulent of the ice-plant family from the arid salt-lake country of northern South Australia. It grows in full sun on saline flats with little, erratic rain, so it needs very bright light, a mineral mix and sparse watering.

Where it grows wild

Arid chenopod shrubland and margins of salt lakes and claypans around the Lake Eyre basin and Flinders Ranges; Gunniopsis species typically grow on saline or gypseous clay and sand flats.

No elevations recorded; the climate sites sit near sea level to about 190 m, consistent with the low basin country.
