Malotigena

Malotigena is a genus of flowering plants in the ice plant family Aizoaceae. It has only one currently accepted species, Malotigena frantiskae-niederlovae, native to Lesotho. Growing up to 50 cm broad and only 3 cm high, it is a mat-forming evergreen succulent with brilliant yellow daisy-like flowers in summer. The foliage turns red in autumn.

Its cultivar 'Gold Nugget' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Although hardy down to -10 C, it requires a sheltered spot in full sun, in acid or neutral pH soil, to thrive.
