description_en: Genus of over 30 species of clump-forming, sometimes fleshy-rooted, almost stemless perennial succulents from semi-desert areas in South Africa. The fleshy, spotted leaves are borne 4-8 on each shoot. They usually have stout, soft, marginal teeth, which can resemble gaping jaws. The large, daisy-like, pink, yellow, or white flowers open after mid-day from late summer to mid-autumn. Where temperatures drop below 7°C (45°F), grow in a temperate greenhouse, as houseplants, or with other plants in a bowl garden. In warmer areas, grow in a raised or scree bed, or desert garden.
