Anacampseros telephiastrum
Large Flowered Sandrose is a small, branching succulent subshrub from the dry Karoo of South Africa, with pink flowers. It needs full sun and very well-drained soil, and it is best kept dry between waterings.
Anacampseros telephiastrum is a species of succulent plant native to the southern Karoo region of the Western Cape and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa, from Robertson in the west, to Somerset East in the east.
It co-occurs with several related species of Anacampseros, but favours specific conditions. It inhabits spots that are slightly more arid than those in which Anacampseros retusa grows. However, in spots that are more arid still, it tends to be replaced by the related Anacampseros arachnoides.
