Aloinopsis
''Aloinopsis'' is a genus of ice plants from South Africa. Description This genus is closely related to the similar ''Titanopsis'', ''Deilanthe'' and ''Nananthus'' genera. ''Aloinopsis'' species have a rather large tuberous root system, and are occasionally cultivated for their looks. They also tend to grow more "heads" when they are raised. Most ''Aloinopsis'' are winter growers and can react badly to too much water at the wrong time. ''Aloinopsis malherbei'' reportedly have "blunt tips to their leaves, which are densely covered with prominent white tubercles." Distribution The species of ''Aloinopsis'' are indigenous to an arid area stretching across the border between the Western, Eastern and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa. Most species occur in an arid winter-rainfall area. An outlying species occurs in the far north eastern corner of the Northern Cape.
