El género es Lithop en la familia de Aizoaceae (sinónimo de Mesembryanthemaceae), que también incluye las diversas formas de las plantas conocidas como "plantas de hielo" y los que se conocen como "plantas" mimetismo. Lithops son bilóbulos muy suculentas (hasta 90% de agua), que se producen en muchos colores naturales incluyendo, morenos, marrones, marrones rojizos, marrones violáceos, grises y hierba-verdes con una gran variedad de patrones y superposiciones de diseños más oscuros, puntos y áreas conocidas como "islas". Estas plantas encantadoras pueden confundir incluso a un experto como no hay dos que parecen ser idénticos en apariencia.

Created from 8 photographs to get the depth of field. Difficult to photograph because of its small size. The pot gets in the way.
