Accepted Scientific Name: Lithops julii
Gard. Chron. 1926, Ser. III. lxxix. 102.

Origin and Habitat: Namibia

Synonyms:

• Lithops julii f. fuscus

Description: Lithops juliiSN|13037]]SN|13037]] is a very pretty species conspicuously pale, usually pearl- to pink-grey leaves but very variable in colour, with characteristic “lip-smears” which is a distinctive feature of this species. The lip-smear occurs occasionally as a narrow edging or lining all along the outer margins. Three main forms have been proposed and were even given varietal status (“pallid”, “reticulated” and “fuscous”) but wild populations tend to have at least two and many have all three of this forms variously intermingled. The “fuscous” form has mottled milky grey and dark brown top.
Habit: Lithops juliiSN|13037]]SN|13037]] is a stemless small to medium sized species that grows solitary or forming clumps of 2 or up to 15 or more) bodies.
Body (paired leaves): Cone-shaped, truncate, separated by a 5-10 mm deep fissure with (usually) conjunct lobes. Face slightly reniform flat or slightly convex; sides coloured pate to very pate (bordering on slightly yellowish-white); in the young stage rugulose, the islands irregular in shape, coloured same as sides; the depressions of a dark yellowish-brown colouration forming a fairly broad network, in the depressions isolated dark red dots and very short prominent, broad dark-red tines, sometimes all the tines interconnected with one another, thereby giving the whole depression a deeper tint; in the older stage the islands are fewer, due to the depressions flowing into one another and forming a fairly large window of a much tighter colour, with here and there the remains of a dot or tine; these entirely absent afterwards, giving the whole a much tighter colour and the appearance of a different plant; the islands verging on white and the depressions a pate grey-green colour; in the later stage the outer margin with teeth of irregular shape and size; inner margins straight; in the very old leaves blue-green dots. This species is very variable some specimens being opaque whitish-grey and almost uniform in colour, others opaque but strongly reticulated with fine impressed brown markings, yet others with largely open obscurely translucent windows.
Flowers: Single, white, daisy-like, about 3 cm in diameter, emerging from the fissure and as large as the pair of fleshy leaves below.
Blooming season: From mid-summer through fall.
Fruit: Seed capsules mostly 6-loculed, top more or less flat, faces elliptic.
Seeds: Yellow-brown to light yellow-brown.
