perennial dwarf plant native to South Africa. It forms a dense lawn with lush, long-lasting flowers. It reaches a height of about 10–15 cm (4–6 inches), with fleshy leaves that are linear and simple, and can grow up to 1.5 inches long, and a hanging stem that hangs downwards. These fleshy roots help the plants recover and grow quickly if a disturbance has occurred. (@ Wikipedia)
