The genus Aloinopsis is relatively small and occurs mostly in the Eastern and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa, extending slightly into the southern part of the Northern Cape Province. One species is found in the north-eastern corner of the Northern Cape Province. Rainfall is sparse throughout the range. The genus Aloinopsis is a group of South African Indigenous mesembs that belongs to the Aizoaceae family. The genus name means “similar to aloe ”. Aloinopsis plants have a rather large tuberous root system, called a caudex, and are occasionally cultivated for the look of the caudex which can form the most unusual shapes. They also tend to grow more rosettes when they are raised. Many species have rough-surfaced, spoon-shaped leaves that grow in small rosettes. The roots are thick and the flowers are often striped with red. Aloinopsis are sometimes confused with Titanopsis, but the genus Titanopsis lack striped flowers. Aloinopsis are popular among collectors. Aloinopsis villetii is endemic to Bushmanland, South Africa and looks a little like a Titanopsis with its spotted textured leaves with dense white tubercles. During summer it bears beautiful fragrant honey scented pale yellow flowers with copper-red tips. It clumps over time producing dense mats like other Aloinopsis. It is best planted in pots.

The genus name Cheiridopsis was derived from the Greek words cheiris, meaning sheath, and opsis, which means resembling. This refers to the thin white papery leaf sheaths which cover the next pair of leaves. The sheaths are formed from the previous year’s leaves that have withered away during the dormant resting period. Only a third of the species belonging to the Cheiridopsis genus form leaf sheaths so it is not a distinguishing characteristic. What’s more is that cultivated specimens may not form sheaths at all and Cheiridopsis is such a variable genus that no obvious feature is found in all species.         The Cheiridopsis genus is placed in the Aizoaceae family and in the past more than 100 species were recognized, but nowadays it has been reduced to about 33 species. Cheiridopsis species are known to be floriferous and many species have beautiful flowers that are scented and open around midday and close at sunset. Cheiridopsis are mostly indigenous succulent mesembs that have a distribution range from Luderitz, in Namibia, southwards through the Richtersveld and Namaqualand in the Northern Cape Province to the northern parts of the Western Cape Province of South Africa where it is found growing among  Conophytum, Dinteranthus, Fenestraria, Lithops,  Schwantesia, Titanopsis,  Antimima, Cephalophyllum and Astridia, to name but a few. They do very well in pots and window succulent gardens. Cheiridopsis glomerata forms a dome-shaped compact plant with semi-globose grey leaves and gorgeous magenta to red flowers.
