Monilaria pisiformis
A small, pea-shaped succulent from the Western Cape of South Africa, grown by collectors of Aizoaceae. It needs bright light, very sparing water and a gritty mix that drains fast.
Monilaria pisiformis is a succulent plant in the Aizoaceae family. The species is endemic to South Africa and occurs in the Western Cape from Vredendal to the Olifants River. The plant has a range of 30 km² and two subpopulations are known. The species is losing some of its habitat to the establishment of vineyards and tomato cultivation.
