Carpobrotus edulis

Carpobrotus edulis is a ground-creeping plant with succulent leaves in the genus Carpobrotus, native to South Africa. It is also known as Hottentot-fig (though this nickname is considered a racist term), ice plant, highway ice plant, or pigface, and in South Africa as the sour fig (suurvy).

 

It was previously classified in Mesembryanthemum and is sometimes referred to by this name: Mesembryanthemum edule.
