Zietsman, P. C. & Zietsman, L. E., 2019, Floristic diversity at Kolomela mine on the Ghaap Plateau, Postmasburg, Northern Cape Province, Indago 35, pp. 1-33 : 8

The habitat of Lithops aucampiae subsp. aucampiae

( Figs 10a & b )

is characterised by very shallow soil, exposed limestone outcrops and no cover from shrubs or trees, which creates an extremely harsh micro-environment (Cole 1988). This species is a popular collectors’ item and as such, is under threat.
