Aethephyllum
''Cleretum'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Aizoaceae, native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa. Taxonomy The genus ''Cleretum'' was erected by Nicholas Edward Brown in 1925. He published the name in a key, basing the diagnosis on a herbarium sheet that was discovered to contain parts belonging to plants in different genera and without designating a type. This caused confusion as to whether the genus had been validly published and whether genus names published later were synonyms or not. It was established in 1985 that ''Cleretum'' was validly published, and that ''Micropterum'' was a later synonym. ''Cleretum papulosum'' was designated as the type species. ''Cleretum'' is placed in the tribe Dorotheantheae. A study in 2012 concluded that the genera previously separated in the Dorotheantheae did not differ sufficiently to be recognized, and placed them all in ''Cleretum'', now the only genus in the tribe.

Dorotheantheae
Dorotheantheae is a small tribe of annual succulents in the Aizoaceae subfamily Ruschioideae. Though it originally comprised three genera (''Aethephyllum'', '' Cleretum'', and ''Dorotheanthus),'' ''Cleretum'' remains as the only recognised genus. Dorotheantheae are endemic to the western and south-western parts of South Africa. The type genus is ''Dorotheanthus'', despite it being no longer recognised. Distribution and description Species in the Dorotheantheae tribe are endemic to the south and southwest areas of South Africa, specifically the Cape Floristic Region and Succulent Karoo Region, or "Greater Cape Flora", an area that sees great diversity in its flora, though, remains distinct. In turn, this means the location of individual species can range from as north as Namaqualand to as east as Plettenberg Bay. The species most commonly appear in flat and open areas, occasionally with the land consisting of loam or sand. All species are annual succulent herbs. The diff ...

Aizoaceae Genera
The Aizoaceae, or fig-marigold family, is a large family of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing 135 genera and about 1800 species. They are commonly known as ice plants or carpet weeds. They are often called vygies in South Africa and New Zealand. Highly succulent species that resemble stones are sometimes called mesembs. Description The family Aizoaceae is widely recognised by taxonomists. It once went by the botanical name "Ficoidaceae", now disallowed. The APG II system of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system of 1998) also recognizes the family, and assigns it to the order Caryophyllales in the clade core eudicots. The APG II system also classes the former families Mesembryanthemaceae Fenzl, Sesuviaceae Horan. and Tetragoniaceae Link under the family Aizoaceae. The common Afrikaans name "vygie" meaning "small fig" refers to the fruiting capsule, which resembles the true fig. Glistening epidermal bladder cells give the family its common name "ice plants". Most ...
