국표에 없다.

Origin and Habitat: South Africa, Western Cape
Altitude: 800 - 1100 metres above sea level.

Description: Conophytum minimumSN|27512]]SN|27484]] is a dwarf succulent species with great looking tiny bodies marked with few to many reddish dots and lines and scented nocturnal flowers. It is very variable and many names have been applied in the past to various ecotypes. Markings can be quite minimal or in some cases very pronounced such as in the old species Conophytum wittebergenseSN|27484]]SN|27512]]. Growers tend to have indulged in unnatural selection and the best-marked forms are highly prized. It is extremely decorative even without flowers.
Habit: It is a minuscule winter-growing, variably caespitose, perennial leaf-succulent up to 3 cm tall and forms dense mats or cushions with time.
Bodies (paired leaves): Variable bodies, small, tiny, less than 1 cm high and 6 mm in diameter with a small growing cleft that doesn't reach right across the body. The upper surface flat to slightly vaulted, depressed in the centre and with a dark zone surrounding the fissure, which is ciliate.
Colours: Silvery bluish-green and variably suffused with reddish or dark green, variously spotted dark green or purple red, which sometimes join up to make lines and which turn a beautiful dark bright red (almost blackish) during the resting period. The sides often reddish.
Flowers: Abundant nocturnal, small, whitish, strongly scented. The thin petals are white, pale yellow or slightly and form an almost star-like, spidery structure and very showy.
Blooming season: Blooms mostly in autumn (in cultivation in Europe August-November).
Fruits: Hygrochastic capsules.
