Disphyma papillatum, commonly known as Chatham Island ice plant,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Aizoaceae and is endemic to the Chatham Islands of New Zealand.
It is a succulent, prostrate herb with flattened, pimply, trailing stems, leaves that are triangular in cross-section, and white to pink, dark blue or purple daisy-like flowers.
Flowering occurs from November to January and the fruit is a capsule 5–12 mm (0.20–0.47 in) in diameter before opening.
It is similar to Disphyma crassifolium but is distinguished from that species by its pimply, rather than smooth, and flattened, two-angled rather than cylindrical stems.
[2][3][4] Disphyma papillatum was first formally described in 1971 by Robert Chinnock in the New Zealand Journal of Botany.
