Conophytum burgeri is a small, endangered, South African species of succulent plant, of the genus ''Conophytum''. ==Description== An onion-shaped, single-bodied, succulent plant, that is possibly the most unusual of all the species of the ''Conophytum'' genus. It is slow-growing and gradually subdivides. It varies in size and can reach the size of a small onion. Unlike other ''Conophytums'', it is spring & summer growing, and is dormant in its pale leaf-sheath during winter. It produces a purple flower in early autumn, with the aroma of honey. ==Distribution== This species is endemic to Bushmanland in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa, where it is known from the mines of the Aggeneys valley (between Sprinbok and Pofadder). This was the farm of the Burger family, after which it is named. Here it grows in rocky quartz-covered clay-soil, in direct sun.〔(Conophytum burgeri - distribution )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conophytum burgeri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
