Eriospermum paradoxum

Eriospermum paradoxum ("haasklossie") is a species of geophytic plant of the genus Eriospermum, indigenous to the Cape region of South Africa. Its habitat is sandy or rocky clay soils in arid winter-rainfall areas.^[1][2][3] It is a bit peculiar in having a true leaf that is like the scale-leaves of some junipers, from which emerges an enation up to 15 cm (5.9 in) in height and half as wide.^[4] but is semisucculent in nature.
