About

Neohenricia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Aizoaceae, native to the Cape Provinces and Free State of South Africa. Low-lying succulents, they are found in places that can collect a little water, such as crevices and pans, on sandstone or dolorite, in areas that get at least 200 mm of rainfall annually.

The genus was named after Swiss-born South African plant physiologist Marguerite Gertrud Anna Henrici.
