Lithops euniceae

A living stone of the dry interior of the Northern Cape, with pale grey-brown, finely patterned bodies set flush with quartz and ironstone gravel. It is a summer-rainfall Lithops: it grows and flowers from late summer into autumn and must be kept dry in winter while the new leaf pair forms.

Where it grows wild

Lithops of this region grow among stones on gravelly flats and low ridges in Nama Karoo and Griqualand West grassland-karoo, almost buried, with only the leaf windows exposed. Species-specific habitat notes were not found; this follows the genus.

The single climate site lies at about 1,040 m on the interior plateau.
