Pleiospilos
Pleiospilos is a genus of succulent flowering plants of the Aizoaceae family, native to South Africa. The name is derived from the Greek pleios "many" and spìlos "spot". The plants are also known as kwaggavy, lewerplant, lewervygie, klipplant, split rock or mimicry plant. Pleiospilos species have two or four opposite, very fleshy, grey-green leaves growing from a short stem that may be underground. The leaves, with their hemispherical shape and pitted texture, often strongly resemble a pile of split pebbles to deter predators. Flowers emerge from the center of the leaves, and may be very big in relation to the overall size of the plant. They reproduce both sexually and asexually. Vegetative offshoots emerge from the root system. Seed set occurs in early spring around March. The species P. bolusii and P. nelii are cultivated as ornamentals.
