Lithops viridis is a species of plant in the family Aizoaceae.

[3] It grows on shale[4] in an area that receives not much more than 100 mm of rain annually.

As with all Lithops, plants are virtually stemless with just two opposite leaves on each head, partly fused to form a roughly conical shape.

Flowers emerge from the fissure between leaf pairs, each with two small bracts.

Some seeds may be ejected by raindrops, others may be retained and the capsules close when they dry out.
