anacampserosanacampseros
genusgenusSmall succulent plants characterized by their compact rosettes of fleshy leaves often adorned with distinctive hair-like fibers or scales. These resilient plants develop colorful flowers that typically open in the afternoon and close at dusk.
Etymology
The name comes from Greek 'anakampto' meaning 'to bend back' and 'eros' meaning 'love', historically believed to be used as a charm to restore lost love or bring back former lovers.
Interesting fact!
The hair-like fibers covering their leaves serve as a natural sunscreen, helping the plants survive in harsh, sun-drenched environments while also collecting moisture from morning dew.
