Description

Cheiridopsis namaquensis is a dwarf succulent that forms a compact clump of pairs of opposite leaves. It can grow up to 2.4 inches (6 cm) tall. The leaves are triangular in cross-section, end in a short sharp point, and are pressed against each other when not forced open by flowers or new leaves. They are pale green-grey and covered with dark spots.

The solitary flowers have numerous pale yellow, sometimes slightly purplish near the tips, and appear on a short stalk in late winter and early spring. The fruits are capsules with ten or more locules. They open when moist and close when dry.
