Corpuscularia lehmannii is not a new plant to me, just the name. I originally acquired the plant from Spain, at a very good price, as Delosperma lehmannii. Having learned that Delosperma is incorrect the plants have been relabelled.
It's also much more endangered than I thought.
The plants at present look to be surviving my attempts at growing them.

Habitat and Ecology: Corpuscularia lehmannii grows on quartzite outcrops in karroid vegetation, also in crevices of rocks. The species is threatened by invasive alien species, habitat loss, pollution and habitat degradation. Of the six locations known through herbarium records four are now locally extinct due to urban expansion of Port Elizabeth. Two remaining subpopulations are severely fragmented and continue to decline due to ongoing habitat loss. At one of the remaining locations near Coega the most part of this species' habitat has been lost to mining.
