Lithops naureeniae C304 TL: 60 km SE of Springbok, South Africa

Origin and Habitat: Type Locality 60 km South East of Springbok, South Africa.

Habitat: It grows in the succulent Karoo vegetation on pink and reddish-brown, rocky soil derived from gneiss along with a strange white flowered form of Conophytum lithopsoides, and a disjunct population of Conophytum stevens-jonesianum (several km away from its traditional habitat in the vicinity of Steinkopf). One or two locations are potentially threatened by harvesting for the specialist succulent horticultural trade.
