Mesembryanthemum namibense

A Namibian Mesembryanthemum known from only a handful of records in the coastal Namib, where rain is close to zero and fog brings most of the moisture. It wants full sun, mild even temperatures, very sparse watering and a pure mineral mix.

Where it grows wild

The recorded sites sit in the fog-influenced coastal Namib, on open sand and gravel plains with almost no plant cover. Little has been published on the species itself, so these details come from the measured climate and the genus.

Few records carry an elevation. The climate suggests low, near-coastal desert.
