Jewel Plant (Titanopsis calcarea)

Titanopsis calcarea is a remarkable, highly cryptic mat-forming succulent native to the calcrete limestone plains of South Africa. The flattened leaf tips are covered in rough, wart-like white and ochre tubercles that mimic fractured limestone rubble to deter herbivores. In late autumn to winter, it produces luminous daisy-like yellow to golden-orange flowers that emerge directly from the center of the rosette.
