Glottiphyllum salmii is a small succulent plant that is part of the Aizoaceae family.[1] The species is endemic to South Africa and occurs in the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape, between Willowmore and Uniondale. The plant has a range of less than 300 km² and two subpopulations are known. More research needs to be done on the plant. It is currently threatened by overgrazing and trampling by ostriches.[2]
