국표에 없다.

Origin and Habitat: Found in the northern parts of Namaqualand (Richtersveld to Kamieskroon), Namibia.
Habitat: It is found in the Succulent Karoo mostly on quartz flats, hills and stony ground, but also in granite.

Common Names include:
CHINESE (中文): 壮叶虾钳花

Description: Cheiridopsis robusta is a low, clump-forming succulent plant and develops as mats. The plants name robusta pertains to its growth, robust. It is a widespread, extremely variable species that has received numerous unnecessary names.
stems: Very short, internodes not visible with only 2 or 4 leaves.
Leaves: Emerging from papery sleeves, up to 55 mm long and 17 mm wide, succulent, paired, connate only at the base and mostly free, tapering and vertically compressed. Lower surface keeled, upper surface flat, grey-green in colour. Apparently these plants are evergreen, as they always have their leaves. They renew their leaves annually, however, and also when rains fail to come, and the new pair of leaves is always formed at the cost of the water and biomass reserves in the old pair. Consequently, the new plant is smaller than the old one until it can take up sufficient water from the environment again and fully expand. The water content in the leaves of Cheiridopsis robusta continuously decreases during a period of drought.
Flowers: Diurnal, 60 mm in diameter, usually bright yellow, but also cream to salmon whit a paler centre.
Blooming season: Buds appear from winter to early spring (in its habitat June to September)
