Accepted Scientific Name: Lithops lesliei (N.E.Br.) N.E.Br.
Gard. Chron. 1922, Ser. III. lxxi. 65.

Origin and Habitat: Republic of South Africa. This subspecies is restricted to a small area northeast of Douglas in the Northern Cape. It is probable that this subspecies occurs also in the military zone further to the North-East, along the Vaal River.
Habitat: Lithops leslieiSN|12964]]SN|12964]] ssp. burchellii grows in grassy places completely embedded in the soil which is mainly formed by calcrete with some jaspilite, grey-white with some red, brown, black. In the hot and dry summer months they shrivel back so much into the soil that they often disappear underground and are very difficult to locate, blending perfectly with their surroundings.

Margins often not clearly distinguishable, otherwise very irregular with fine indentations and laciniations, Islands usually small and somewhat irregular, opaque whitish grey, or pale grey tinged with cream or yellowish or pinkish beige, Windows more or less occluded, rarely completely open, always with numerous fine clavate lines extending into the margins. Channels sometimes narrow to broad, usually very narrow slightly impressed grooves constituting a fine mesh, opaque very dark slate-grey, sometimes al-most black.
Flowers: Yellow, often small.
