Pseudolithos is a genus of succulent flowering plants of the family Apocynaceae, indigenous to arid areas of Somalia, Yemen and Oman.

Description and naming[edit]

The plants were first described as a genus in 1965; the name "Pseudo-lithos" means "false-stone" and refers to their pebble-like appearance. It was originally proposed as Lithocaulon earlier in 1956, but this name was already in use for a genus of fossil algae.^[1] All species in this genus are highly succulent, small in size, and exhibit tessellation on their stems' surface. Their small flowers appear on the spherical body's surface.^[2]^[3]

Species ^[4]

Pseudolithos caput-viperae Lavranos - Somalia
Pseudolithos cubiformis (P.R.O. Bally) P.R.O. Bally - N Somalia
Pseudolithos dodsonianus (Lavranos) Bruyns & Meve - Somalia & Oman
Pseudolithos gigas Dioli - Eastern Ethiopia
Pseudolithos harardheranus Dioli - Somalia
Pseudolithos horwoodii P.R.O. Bally & Lavranos - Somalia
Pseudolithos mccoyi Lavranos - Yemen & Oman
Pseudolithos migiurtinus (Chiov.) P.R.O. Bally - S + C Somalia
Pseudolithos sphaericus (P.R.O. Bally) P.R.O. Bally - N Somalia

Taxonomy[edit]

Phylogenetic studies have shown the genus to be monophyletic, and most closely related to the widespread Caralluma stapeliads of North Africa. Marginally more distantly related is a sister branch comprising the genera Echidnopsis and Rhytidocaulon.^[5]
