Altitude range: 250– 2300 metres above sea level.
Habitat and ecology: This species grows on wooded and open (often recently burnt or grazed) grassland, often in shallow soils overlaying rocks, also in copper steppe savannas.Description: Dorstenia barnimianaSN|33437]]SN|33437]] a perennial (almost) stemless, monoecious herb up to 20 cm tall, in the fig family (Moraceae). It has a slightly depressed or subglobose tuber (caudex) with leaves and inflorescences from the tuber. Dorstenia barnimianaSN|33437]]SN|33437]] is rather variable in features of leaves and inflorescences. This species has a
inflorescence consisting of a green and brown flattened receptacle in a vertical position surrounded by tendril-like appendages. Plants may have entire and palmately compound leaves, and all intermediates in the same population. The inflorescences also vary in colour and in number of appendages.
Tuber: Sub-globose to pear-shaped, 2–5 cm in diameter, sometimes with small swelling above, sometimes with a tuberous rhizome with white latex.
Stem: Leafy stems to 1.5 (-2.5) cm, about 4-10 mm thick.
Leaves: Seasonal, rosulate, more or less succulent, blade reniform, orbicular, cordate at the base or palmate, entire, trilobed or tripartite, palmately lobed to incised or compound, often varying in shape during the season, 2–12 cm long, 3.5–11 cm wide, segments of compound leaves elliptic to oblong or lanceolate, sometimes lobed, to 12 cm long, and 2 cm wide, bluntly acute to rounded at the apex, with entire or irregular denticulate margins, puberulous to glabrescent on both sides, veins pedately branched. Petiole relatively slender, 4–15 cm long, glabrescent, young leaves
shortly petiolate and prostrate. Stipules not observed.
Inflorescences: Solitary, often relatively slender,1–2 together on 4–16(-26) cm long, 1-3 mm thick peduncles. Receptacles in a vertical position, naviculate (boat shaped), flowering face narrowly oblong to elliptic, 10–30 mm long, 2–10 mm wide (excl. appendages), attached to the peduncle near the base; appendages 2 (basal and apical), a few (one apical and 3–7 basal ones) or many up to 50-80 (evenly distributed along the margin or usually with longer apical and basal ones), 4–40 long and 0.5–1 mm thick, often purplish brown, rarely greenish (upper filiform up to 4 cm long, shortly pubescent; lower linear up to 2 cm the other usually shorter). Male flowers numerous, tepals 2, stamens 2, rudimentary ovary not observed. Female flowers fewer, scattered, stigma unbranched. Endocarp ovoid, whitish, verrucose, c. 1 mm long.
Phenology: Inflorescences appear at the beginning of the rainy season, leaves shortly afterwards.https://youtu.be/_NhH3GCH_JQ?t=447
