Origin and Habitat: Endemic to a small area in the Richtersveld, to the north and north-west of Lekkersing. TL: Namaqualand: Richtersveld, Brakfontein'
Habitat: Grow in among small quartzite stones. Colours of the background white, with some yellow-brown, brown and black. it is a quartz lover and will always be found growing either on big outcrops of quartz or more commonly on quartz plains where the quartz pebbles protect the plants from the blazing summer sun by reflecting a lot of the light and heat. It closely resembles the white quartz crystalline rubble of its habitat. In times of drought the plants shrivel and are almost invisible, as they get covered with fine wind-blown sand. After rain, however, they absorb water and become fat and turgid.
