Okay;
To everyone who replied about the Polymita, I'm going to reveal that it
was intended as a joke; the specimen I saw was about 6 inches tall, had
a woody stem and fat, succulent leaves, and was growing in a 5 inch pot.
I didn't expect anyone to be fooled for long, and Harry's reply about
homonyms
was great! To those who may wonder, Polymita steenbokensis is in the
family
Aizoacea, the same group to which the living stones (Lithops) belong.

Best Regards,
James
