''Conophytum truncatum'' is a small South African species of succulent plant of the genus ''Conophytum''. ==Distribution and habitat== The easternmost of all ''Conophytum'' species, ''C. truncatum'' is indigenous to the Little Karoo region, and its surrounds, in the southern Cape of South Africa. It ranges from near Montagu in the west, as far east as the Springbokvlakte.〔(Conophytum truncatum - SANBI information page )〕〔(Conophytum truncatum - distrubution map )〕 They grow primarily in the winter, when rainfall swell them. After flowering, they go into dormancy through the summer, when they are covered in a dry papery sheath. They inhabit extremely well-drained soil, in spots protected by rocks or bushes.〔(- Conophytum truncatum - general information )〕 It is closely related to several neighbouring species to the west: ''Conophytum minimum'', ''Conophytum ficiforme'' of the Breede River Valley, white-flowered ''Conophytum joubertii'', and purple-flowered ''Conophytum piluliforme'' of the Montagu area.
