Limeum africanum or koggelmandervoet (rock lizard’s foot) in Afrikaans is to grazing animals a highly sought-after dwarf shrub of the arid veld of the Karoo and some western winter rainfall parts of South Africa.  High prevalence of this plant is usually an indication that veld is well managed and not over-grazed. 

The much branched herbaceous stems are prostrate, bearing oblong to lanceolate and fleshy leaves with short petioles. The flowers appear in large numbers on short-stemmed cymes with the white margined sepals being conspicuous (JSTOR).
