Chilean Sea Fig (Carpobrotus chilensis)

Usually found in warm temperate and subtropical areas, it is probably native to southern Africa. It is familiar elsewhere, particularly the coastline of western North America, where it is an introduced invasive species that has taken hold and become commonplace. It is also found, and naturalized, in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Australia, Spain, Southern England and New Zealand. Grown in sunny conditions, it is normally found within coastal dunes and bluffs, margins of estuaries, along roadsides; at elevations from sea level to 100 meters along the southern Pacific Coast of North America.
