description_en: Genus of about 40 species of mainly mat-forming, perennial succulents from semi-desert areas of Botswana and South Africa. They have very short stems and unequal pairs of angular or rounded, often keeled, rough, fleshy leaves, some-times with marginal teeth and white or transparent dots. Solitary, daisy-like, scented flowers are borne in the middle of the stems in summer; they often open in late afternoon and stay open all night. In frost-prone areas, grow in a temperate greenhouse. In warm, dry areas, use in a desert garden or raised bed.
