Conophytum minimum is a small South African species of succulent plant of the genus Conophytum.
Small, highly patterned, mat-forming succulent, with a flattened (truncated) or slightly convex, rounded body-shape.
It is covered with distinctive lines, and the wittebergense variety has especially strong markings.
It is closely related to its neighbouring species Conophytum joubertii, Conophytum ficiforme, Conophytum piluliforme, and to the widespread Conophytum truncatum.[3]
