Origin

Conophytum herreanthus subsp. rex is native to South Africa. It occurs in crevices in quartzite outcrops, generally in semi-shade or full sun near Klipbok in Richtersveld in the Northern Cape province.

Description

Conophytum herreanthus subsp. rex is a dwarf succulent that forms a clump of short bodies composed of two thick, fleshy, pale grey or bluish-green to pinkish leaves with faint dark, sparsely scattered spots along the surfaces. The angular leaves point up their triangular inner surfaces, facing the other member of the leaf pair in a V-shape. They are up to 1.6 inches (4 cm) long and grow in opposite pairs. Some leaf tips and keels are slightly rosy. This subspecies is said to lack the deeply sunken stomata on the leaves found on Conophytum herreanthus subsp. herreanthus.

The flowers are strongly scented, up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) in diameter, with pink petals that tend to be white near the base, appear in late fall, and remain open day and night.
