ANACAMPSEROS PISINA

This member of the Portulacaceae family was given this name by Graham Williamson in 1998. It is found in northern Namaqualand, north of Steinkopf, towards summit of Umdaus in western South Africa, growing in a well drained soil with some water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow to two centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to four centimetres in height. The flowers are whitish green to white - and perhaps pale pink?.

The species name from the Greek word anakamptein, meaning 'to bend backwards' or 'restore', and Greek; eros; 'love'. The species name from Latin pisum; "pea", because of the pea-green colour of the leaves. Two plants with exposed caudex from Lifestyleseeds.co.za.
