distribution_en:
description_en: Genus, closely related to Conophytum, of 19 species of perennial succulents growing wild in dry, hilly areas of Namibia and South Africa. They bear "bodies" of paired, erect, compressed-cylindrical, very fleshy leaves, united for most of their length, with transparent "windows" on the usually flat tops. Solitary, daisy-like flowers are borne from clefts between the paired lobes, during the day in late summer and autumn. In areas where temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), grow in a temperate greenhouse; in warm, dry climates, grow in a desert garden or in a scree bed or raised bed.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.
