Stapelia hirsuta var. gariepensis 2

Pictures taken 6 Sept. 2010. When you compare this post to the one of 3 June, you will notice that these plants occur in a completely different habitat.

Psammophora modesta

The young leaves are sticky and collect dust and sand grains to protect them against desiccation (the genus name means sand bearer). The small plant is accompanied by Sarcocaulon (Monsonia) multifidum.

Juttadinteria deserticola

Pictures taken 6 Sept. 2010. For the first one only ambient light was used, in the second flash was added. Both have their pros and cons.

Aloe pillansii

This rare and impressive plant is one of the icons of South Africa’s wealth of succulents. Pictures taken on 8 Sept. 2010 at Cornellskop. Notice the misty weather, which plays such an important role for the vegetation here.
The two pictures at the end show young plants, with their leaves still upright rather than spreading.

Crassula pseudohemisphaerica

In spite of its name more similar to C. orbicularis than to C. hemisphaerica.
Usually growing on shaded rock faces.
