About

Cheiridopsis umdausensis is a species of succulent plant from South Africa.

Where it grows

This species is endemic to the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has historically been lost, but it was rediscovered and is now known from a single hill northwest of Steinkopf. In 1990 this population consisted of about 200 plants. While it prefers hot quartzite slopes, it was found to be most common where plants could receive some shade from taller vegetation.
