About Anacampseros filamentosa (Haw.) Sims
Anacampseros filamentosa (Haw.) Sims grows as clusters of tiny stems, with each stem covered in densely packed round leaves. Each leaf is nearly spherical, but features a small down-turned "chin" at its tip. Both the leaves and the whole plant are covered in a thick layer of hair, which gives the plant an overall white colour. A small number of longer, stiff bristly hairs extend outward from the plant beyond the shorter dense hair layer. The only exception is the namaquensis subspecies, which is found in the northern portion of the species' range; this subspecies has shorter bristles that do not extend beyond the length of the leaves. The flowers of this species are pink.
