Anacampseros telephiastrum is a species of succulent plant native to the southern Karoo region of the Western Cape and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa, from Robertson in the west, to Somerset East in the east.

[1] A small branching species with loosely-held 18mm long leaves.

The leaves are brown-green with papillae and tiny points (mucros) at their tips.

It co-occurs with several related species of Anacampseros, but favours specific conditions.

It inhabits spots that are slightly more arid than those in which Anacampseros retusa grows.
