Oscularia
Oscularia is a genus of small, mat-forming succulents from South Africa's Western Cape, valued for its grey-green, toothed leaves and almond-scented daisy flowers. Oscularia deltoides is the species most often grown in gardens, and the key to success is sharp drainage and plenty of sun.
Oscularia is a genus of succulent flowering plants in the family Aizoaceae, native to semi-arid and rocky habitats in the Western Cape of South Africa.
It was previously included within the related genus Lampranthus, but was split off as a separate genus, due to differences in its fruit and flower.
The species are restricted to the Western Cape Province, South Africa, where they occur only in winter rainfall areas. Their habitat is typically rocky areas of sandstone.
