Meyerophytum
''Meyerophytum'' is a genus of succulent plants of the family Aizoaceae, indigenous to the arid region of the Namaqualand and Richtersveld, in the far north-west of South Africa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Meyerophytum On-line Guide to the positive identification of Succulent Plant Families )〕
The species are small succulent shrubs that grow short slender stems, at the top of which the succulent leaves appear in alternating pairs. Similar to the closely related genera of ''Monilaria'' and ''Mitrophyllum'', these leaf-pairs alternate consecutively between two different types of leaf-growth (heterophylly) and during the exceptionally hot summer they remain inactive in a dry sheath. They produce purple or white flowers in spring and rely on winter rainfall in their dry environment. Of the two recorded species, ''Meyerophytum meyeri'' is relatively common in the Namaqualand, but ''Meyerophytum globosum'' has a more restricted natural range and is threatened by mining and cattle farming.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Threatened Species Programme | SANBI Red List of South African Plants )〕
