Gibbaeum angulipes (Gibbaeum angulipes)
Description
Gibbaeum angulipes is a dwarf creeping succulent plant up to 4 cm tall forming huge mats of up to 2 m in diameter, with leaves in pairs, erect, nearly cylindrical, but one side flattened. Gibbaeums make attractive plants with their fascinating leaf forms and G. angulipes with longish spreading anisophyllous leaves (different in shape and size and looking like sharks head) should be no exception, particularly when the mauve flowers appear.
