Lithops francisci
A small, grey-green Lithops from the southern Namib of Namibia, growing in cracks of granite or gneiss outcrops. It is a fog- and winter-rain-influenced desert plant that rots easily, so it needs very high light, a mineral mix and careful, sparse watering.
Where it grows wild
Rock crevices and gritty pockets on granitic or gneiss hills in the southern Namib, in a very arid zone where moisture comes from light winter rains and coastal fog. The data file has no wild records, so this is from general knowledge of the species.
No recorded elevations; the climate point at 1455 m is a country-level location, not a known site.
