Umbilicus schmidtii is a flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. The species is endemic to Cape Verde. It is listed as endangered by the IUCN.
Umbilicus scmidtii is a western hygrophyte occurring on Santo Antão, São Nicolau, Santiago and Fogo of the Cape Verde Islands. It is confined to small areas in the subhumid and humid zones, mainly between 800 m and 1600 m. The lower most records are 550 m on Fogo (Monte Palha, leg. Killian & Leyens) and at 600 m on Santo Antao (Sunding 1981) and the uppermost one at 2000 m on Fogo (Ormonde 1977). The plants grow on north to northeast facing, moist cliffs. Umbilicus schmidtii is infrequent even in suitable habitats and it is generally considered to be rare.
