Since 2017 I have been focusing on tiny Succulent Karoo plants. From 2022 onwards I began documenting the genus Conophytum. With the recent SBA Fellows Grant for a field trip in South Africa during 2026, and 10 new Conophtyum drawings, work on these plants will become all consuming. Here is an example of a cross-pollinated cultivar by the Conophytum expert, Steven Hammer. Protective sheath fragments surround the plant base. I have chosen a drawing layout which shows the plan view (as the plant is seen in the earth), a seed capsule in plan view, and a lateral view of the plant and flower.

This unusual variation of Conophtyum shows two prominent succulent leaves, fused only at the base, not in the usual conical or globe form. This is also one of the very few Conophytums which does not form a protective sheath. Officially extinct in the wild for over eighty years, this specimen was documented in the Karoo National Gardens at Worcester, Western Cape. I have chosen a drawing layout which shows the plan view (as the plant is seen in the earth), a seed capsule in plan view, and a lateral view of the plant and flower.
