ice plant
An ice plant is a type of plant belonging to the family Aizoaceae, commonly found in South Africa. These plants are known for their thick and fleshy leaves, which enables them to retain water in arid conditions. Many of them produce small daisy-like flowers and have a frosty appearance due to small bladder cells covering the stems, leaves and flowers, which can look like tiny ice crystals, hence the common name 'ice plant'.
Webster Dictionary

a plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), sprinkled with pellucid, watery vesicles, which glisten like ice. It is native along the Mediterranean, in the Canaries, and in South Africa. Its juice is said to be demulcent and diuretic; its ashes are used in Spain in making glass
Etymology and Origins
