Thank you Ralph Foster for identifying this species for us Large triangular, green to purple, succulent, vertical leaves. Brilliant purple flower with white centre. Sprawling habit that can completely cover square metres of ground. We thought this was C. modestus, but recently found an SA factsheet that indicates that the size of flower for C. modestus <= 20mm (ours are >35mm) and that C. modestus has 20-80 stamen (ours have 100-600) are diagnostic. This factsheet points to Carpobrotus rossii; so we renamed our species as this. Ralph then highlighted to us that the inland specimens of C. rossii are probably going to all be renamed; currently an undescribed species labelled Carpobrotus sp. Short calyx. Research is still ongoing to described them and provide morphological differences to separate out the two species. | ||||

Has white or pink flowers. It's much hairier than it's relation, Aizoon pubescens, which is also introduced in Australia and seems more common. | ||||
| Betalains Caryophyllales | Ice Plant Aizoaceae | Desert Spinach Tetragonia eremaea iNaturalist | LC e m | The flowers are tiny at only ~4mm tip to tip. As they are the same colour as the stem & leaf they are very hard to see. There are 2 flowers per leaf axis. | ||||
