Glottiphyllum salmii
Glottiphyllum salmii is a small, fleshy-leaved succulent subshrub in the ice-plant family, native to a very restricted area of South Africa's Cape region. It is best grown as a low, sun-loving succulent in gritty, fast-draining soil, watered sparingly.
Glottiphyllum salmii is a small succulent plant that is part of the Aizoaceae family. The species is endemic to South Africa and occurs in the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape, between Willowmore and Uniondale. The plant has a range of less than 300 km² and two subpopulations are known. More research needs to be done on the plant. It is currently threatened by overgrazing and trampling by ostriches.
