LITHOPS 
Beautiful and interesting small African Mesembs in 
a bewildering array of species over 50 being recog- 
nized with many additional forms. They are ‘‘mimicry’’ 
plants as well as ‘‘window’’ plants and are often 
brightly colored. The plants are simply a pair of suc- 
culent, connate leaves the stem being a thin plate be- 
tween the roots and leaves. A new pair of leaves is 
formed each fall absorbing the old pair very slowly 
and eventually identically filling their place the old 
pair forming a dry shell enclosing the new leaves. 
They flower at the beginning of their growing season 
in autumn. See color plate page 37. Sandy soil, water- 
ing moderately when dry and a well lighted or sunny 
location. A dry rest during late June, July and August 
is necessary.
