This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Lithops karasmontana subsp. bella occurs in Namibia in a narrow boomerang-shaped area from Witputs in the south to Helmeringhausen in the north. The type locality is somewhere in the middle near Aus.

Lithops karasmontana subsp. bella seems to prefer to grow on elevations (koppies) in sandy pebbly soil.

The plants have very attractive translucent windows which is an obvious distinction from the subsp. karasmontana. The flowers are white.

"bella" means attractive
