Conophytum truncatum

The name "truncatum" comes from the Latin and refers to the characteristic shape of its truncated bodies at the apex and more flattened than other species. Each body keeps extremely small dimensions, developing a globose shape, flat at the apex and equipped with a central fissure; however. It is a plant that tends to grow rapidly forming wide carpets of multiple heads, characterized by a green-colored dull greyish, often streaked with wrinkles and dots of a more intense green hue. Accustomed to resting in the warm periods, protecting themselves with the previous dry leaves which cover them like a sheath, they instead grow luxuriantly in autumn and winter, when they will delight your locations with big nocturnal flowers on the notes of white and yellow.
