Description

Narrow-Leafed Ice Plants is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family. These are relatively short-lived perennials with underground stems and tentacle-shaped, dull-pointed triangular leaves. They bear large tubular flowers often exceeding 10 cm in width, with up to 250 fringelike petals arranged in a ring around a center with hundreds of stamens. The fruit is a capsule which opens when it gets wet, slowly releasing the hundreds of tiny seeds as they fall out of its drying flesh. Narrow-Leafed Ice Plants is native to southern Africa.
