One of the more unique and easy to grow - dare i might say 'weedy' as mine showed up in a Pachyphyllum purchase - in the Aizoaceae family. Long,glossy,fleshy lvs grow distichous and tend to lie flat on the ground. 16 sp. listed as of 2000. Many many synonyms and conspecifics, hopefully there will be some taxonomic housecleaning soon as people realize that leaf length and tip curl are not enough to warrant species differentiation.
With that said, G.linguiforme is described as having 2 rows of incurved strap shaped leaves with rounded tips bent slightly outward. (Native to Calitzdorp, Oudtshoorn Distr., W.Cape, SA)
