Rhombophyllum are a genus of succulents and subshrubs native to tropical southern Africa. These plants are ideal for use in garden borders and container gardening, as they attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. They have also been used to stabilize banks and ground cover.

Species of Rhombophyllum

Elks horns

The leaves of the elks horns are peculiarly shaped, with a bifurcated tip and a slightly sunken middle section that looks like the antler of an elk. When light is insufficient, the plant grows excessively and its leaves extend longer, forming a looser look. This is a sign that the plant needs an increase in light exposure.
