| Carpobrotus
(pigface) species are spreading succulent plants of
dry places (especially coasts). They have thick, angled and
elongate leaves. Like many Aizoaceae, these species have
numerous coloured "petals" (in fact staminodes). Tasmania
has one native species (C. rossii), which is common
in coastal areas. Tasmania also has two introduced species,
which are usually larger and differ in flower colour, but
are otherwise resemble C. rossii. |
