Juttadinteria simpsonii is a small, upright, critically endangered succulent subshrub from the Ice-plant family, known only from a few sites near Lüderitz in Namibia. It is rarely grown, and success depends on giving it the hot, dry, sunny conditions of its desert home with very sparing water.
Juttadinteria simpsonii is a species of succulent plant in the family Aizoaceae. It is a critically endangered species endemic to Namibia.
Juttadinteria simpsonii is known only from four subpopulations near Lüderitz in the ǁKaras Region of Namibia, 390–606 m (1,280–1,988 ft) above sea level, where it grows on granitic-gneiss ridges, sandy pockets amongst dolomite rocks, low and mid-elevation mountain slopes, and rocky or sandy plains. 90% of the population occurs within the Namib-Naukluft National Park, with the other 10% found in the Tsau ǁKhaeb Sperrgebiet National Park.
