Habit

Disphyma papillatum, commonly known as Chatham Island ice plant, is a species of flowering plant in the family Aizoaceae and is endemic to the Chatham Islands of New Zealand. It is a succulent, prostrate herb with flattened, pimply, trailing stems, leaves that are triangular in cross-section, and white to pink, dark blue or purple daisy-like flowers.

Description

Disphyma papillatum is a succulent, prostrate herb with pimply, two-angled, trailing stems rooting at the nodes, up to Шаблон:Cvt long, the internodes mostly Шаблон:Cvt long. The leaves are arranged in pairs, stem-clasping with their bases joined, each leaf triangular in cross-section, mostly Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, tapering towards the tip. The flowers are superficially daisy-like, Шаблон:Cvt in diameter on a pimply pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with five sepals at the base. The petals are white, pink, dark blue or purple in three to five rows, each petal Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. There are many stamens with yellow anthers and five or six styles. Flowering occurs from November to January and the fruit is a capsule Шаблон:Cvt in diameter before opening. It is similar to Disphyma crassifolium but is distinguished from that species by its pimply, rather than smooth, and flattened, two-angled rather than cylindrical stems.
