This winter growing mesemb from South Africa builds a short and wide caudex year by year. From this perennial trunk, each year it will grow the new shoots with leaves and  showy flowers, which are weakly lignified and will last only one season. It also has a showy epidermis, with showy bladder cells full of water. Phyllobous tenuiflorus is both fascinating and beautiful, also because it flowers massively with a few peaks in the season. It is rather easy in cultivation, as long as you respect its dry summer rest. It is long-lived and each year it will grow thicker and larger.
