'''''Glottiphyllum''''' is a [[genus]] of about 57 [[species (biology)|species]] of [[succulent]] subtropical [[plant]]s of the family ''[[Aizoaceae]]''. The name comes from the [[Ancient Greek language|ancient Greek]] "γλωττίς" (glottis=tongue) and "φύλλον" (phyllos=leave). The species are native to [[South Africa]], specifically to [[Cape Province]] and the [[Karoo desert]]. They grow in rocks and soils incorporating slate, sandstone and quartz. Rainfall in their native areas is between 125 and 500 mm, especially in March and November. The plants have thick, soft leaves arranged in pairs, with a port or coated razing to the ground. They have [[rhizomes]] and sport yellow flowers with narrow petals, sometimes fragrant, around five cm diameter, which appear in autumn and winter. Hybridization is easy. ==Cultivation== Glottiphyllum plants can be grown in small pots in a lean soil with sand and clay. They require very sunny exposure, and need moderate watering in summer and not at all in winter (during which the plant undergoes a necessary rest period). If overwatered, the plants become deformed. ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== Some species: * ''[[Glottiphyllum carnosum]]'' NEBr. * ''[[Glottiphyllum cruciatum]]''(Haw.)
