Glottiphyllum Longum
''Glottiphyllum longum'' is a species of succulent plant in the family Aizoaceae, native to the Western Cape and Eastern Cape Provinces, South Africa. It is the most widespread ''Glottiphyllum'' species, and the most common one in cultivation. Description It can be distinguished from its relatives by the way that its flat, green, fleshy, tongue-shaped leaves are all born in two opposite rows (distichous), lying flat and mostly prostrate along the ground. The long leaves are distinctively strap-shaped, with rounded margins. Sometimes they are also mildly curved or upturned at the tips, but not hooked. The bladder cells at the leaf margins are oriented horizontally and not elongated. The fruits are born on long stalks. The seed capsules have 9 or more locules and persist on the stem for many years. The seeds are very small and smoothed on the sides. Distinction from ''Glottiphyllum depressum'' This species is sometimes confused with the similarly widespread ''Glottiphyllum de ...

Glottiphyllum Suave
''Glottiphyllum suave'' is a species of succulent plant, in the family Aizoaceae. It is indigenous to arid areas of the western Little Karoo, in the Western Cape, South Africa. Description Each growth point bears a small number of compact, fleshy leaves, in two parallel, opposite rows (distichous leaf arrangement). The leaves of this species are thick, oval or rounded-elliptical, and ending in a slightly hunched "chin". The leaves also have clear margins and a pale waxy covering that can easily be rubbed off. This layer of white wax gives the leaves a slightly blue-grey hue. It is likely an adaptation to this plant's habitat preference for exposed positions in full sunlight.Heidrun E.K. Hartmann, Horst Gölling: ''A monograph on the genus ''Glottiphyllum'' (Mesembryanthema, Aizoaceae)''. ''Bradleya'' 11, 1993. The seed capsule disintegrates and falls from the plant soon after it has released its seeds. The seeds have long, equally-sized papillae. Distribution ''Glottiphyllum s ...

Glottiphyllum Regium
''Glottiphyllum regium'' is a rare species of succulent plant, in the family Aizoaceae. It is known locally as "koeispene" ("cow-nipples" in the Afrikaans language). It is restricted to a small arid area near Calitzdorp in the Western Cape, South Africa. Description This is the largest species of its genus, with leaves over in length. The leaves are bright green, upturned, fleshy and are born in pairs. The two leaves in a leaf-pair are a very similar size, unlike many other species of ''Glottiphyllum''. The leaf-pairs grow in a decussate arrangement (each leaf-pair at right angles to the previous one, rather than all in the same two distichous rows). The leaf also does not have a swollen base (unlike ''Glottiphyllum cruciatum ''Glottiphyllum cruciatum'' is a rare species of succulent plant, of the family Aizoaceae.

Glottiphyllum Peersii
''Glottiphyllum peersii'' is a rare species of succulent plant, in the family Aizoaceae. It is indigenous to arid areas near Klaarstroom in the Western Cape, South Africa. Description This species can be distinguished by its bright, white margins on its slender, upcurved leaves. The leaves grow in pairs, that each appear in a decussate arrangement (each leaf-pair at right angles to the previous one, rather than all in the same two distichous rows). Each leaf-pair is also strongly anisophyllous (one leaf is much larger than the other). The larger leaf of each pair has a notch at its base, and the other is very much smaller. It most resembles its close relative, ''Glottiphyllum difforme ''Glottiphyllum'' is a genus of about 57 species of succulent subtropical plants of the family Aizoaceae.

Glottiphyllum Oligocarpum
''Glottiphyllum oligocarpum'' is a species of succulent plant, in the family Aizoaceae. It is indigenous to arid areas of the Little Karoo, in the Western Cape, South Africa. Description It produces its leaves in two ranks (distichous), having many prostrate leaf-pairs per branch. Each leaf is covered with a white, waxy layer, which can be rubbed off. The leaf is thick with smoothly rounded margins. The stems branch until the plant forms a clump The stalk-less fruits have soft, conical bases, and fall off the plant when they dry, becoming tumble fruits and spreading the seeds. The fruits have high valves and no awns with a maximum of eight locules. This species resembles its close relative ''Glottiphyllum nelii'' which overlaps it in range, but mostly grows to the north in the Great Karoo. However ''G.nelii'' has shiny leaves, without any pale, waxy covering, and often has translucent lines along its leaf margins. ''G.nelii'' also has fewer branches and fewer leaves per branch. ...

Glottiphyllum Nelii
''Glottiphyllum nelii'' is a species of succulent plant, in the family Aizoaceae. It is indigenous to the arid Great Karoo region, South Africa. Description The leaves are shiny, green and distichous (produced in two parallel ranks), with smooth, rounded tips. This species often has lines of translucent cells, along the margins and keel of its leaves. This character can often be used to identify ''G. nelii''. The seed capsule has 8 or fewer locules, high valves (over ), and a thick, angular, conical base. After it has dried, the capsule soon falls off from the plant. It resembles its closest relative ''Glottiphyllum oligocarpum'', in its general form, but its leaves are glossy and do not have any waxy, white covering. Distribution This species occurs in shaley-loamy soils - often in the shelter of bushes - in an east–west belt, north of the Swartberg Mountain range, in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces, South Africa South Africa, officially the Republic of ...
