The genus was neither recognised nor validly named until the name ''Conophytum'' was published 101 years later.

Conophytum Calculus
''Conophytum calculus'' is a small South African species of succulent plant in the family Aizoaceae. Description Rounded ball-shaped succulent plant, that divides to form dense clumps. The resemblance to pebbles and the firmness of its flesh is what got it its name (''"calculus"'' is Latin for ''"pebble"''). It produces yellow or orange flowers in autumn, that open at night, and have the aroma of cloves. The ball shape is formed from the plant's leaf-pair having fused entirely, leaving only a tiny slit at the top, where the flower and the succeeding leaf pair pushes through. The new leaf-pair forms inside the ball. When it is ready, the ball of the old leaf-pair shrivels and dries out, before it is split open by the new leaf-pair ball. The epidermis (and therefore the dried leaf sheath too) is thick and strong. The plants are extremely long-lived, and individuals have been kept in cultivation for over 50 years. They offset slowly, forming clumps. Subspecies * ''C. calculus' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Conophytum Burgeri
''Conophytum burgeri'' ("Burger's onion") is a small, endangered, South African species of succulent plant, of the genus ''Conophytum''. Description An onion-shaped, single-bodied, succulent plant, it is possibly the most unusual of all the species of the genus ''Conophytum''. It has a tiny fissure at the top of its body. Its epidermis is smooth, shiny and translucent, and its colour is light green to purple. It is slow-growing and sometimes subdivides through a gradual process over several years, to form two or even three heads. It varies in size and can reach the size of a small onion. Unlike most other ''Conophytums'', it grows in a region of spring and early summer rainfall. However its habitat is extremely arid, and the plant may rely mainly on the copious winter fogs and dew that condenses on the rocks where it grows. When dormant, its outer covering dries into a thin, white, persistent leaf-sheath. It produces a purple flower, in early autumn (April–May in South Africa ...
