Lithops pseudotruncatella is a species of succulent in the family Aizoaceae.[1][2] It is often confused with Conophytum truncatum, but with attention to detail, it can be distinguished. This confusion associated with L. pseudotruncatella is also where it derives its name, literally meaning "fake-truncatum" ( referring to C. trunctatum). It also received The Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3] The plant is found throughout much of Southern Africa.[3]
Leaves are thick, and similar to that of the rest of the genus Lithops. The leaves are paired in twos, and the plant as a whole does not grow larger than 5 cm in height. They are grey to green in color with branched marbling on the top.[4] Its flowers are yellow in color and not more than 4 cm in diameter.[5]
