See text Pleiospilos is a genus of succulent flowering plants of the family Aizoaceae.

Pleiospilos species have two or four opposite, very fleshy, grey-green leaves growing from a short stem that may be underground.

[2] The leaves, with their hemispherical shape and pitted texture, often strongly resemble a pile of split pebbles to deter predators.

Flowers emerge from the center of the leaves, and may be very big in relation to the overall size of the plant.

Vegetative offshoots emerge from the root system.
