Lithops amicorum

Lithops amicorum is a candidate for the smallest Lithops,^[3] typically 10–15 millimeters in diameter.^[1] Its leaves are whitish-grey, the translucent windows on the top faces marked with grey islands. Some plants have subtle dots or lines, sometimes reddish markings.^[1] The fleshy succulent leaves occur in pairs, with one new pair growing each year and the older pair drying up. L. amicorum typically forms clumps with 2–4 leaf pairs.^[3]

The flowers of L. amicorum are white and fairly small. The capsules are also small and nearly always have five locules.^[3]

Known only from three colonies near Aus, L. amicorum is a Namibian endemic.^[1][3]

Lithops amicorum has one named cultivar, 'Freckled Friend'. 'Freckled Friend' is a pattern-cultivar which has darker and more prominent markings than typical for the species.^[4]
