description_en: Genus of about 150 species of evergreen or deciduous, shrubby, succulent perennials and small shrubs, often arising from caudices or thick, tuberous rootstocks. They are found in dry, hilly areas of Tunisia, Algeria, Namibia, and South Africa. They have entire or dissected, fleshy leaves, which are lobed or toothed, and terminal, daisy-like, usually yellow, rarely white or purple flowerheads, produced singly or in corymbs from summer to winter. In areas where temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), grow tender species as houseplants or in a temperate greenhouse; in warm, dry climates, use in a desert border.
