Annotation: Carpobrotus edulis (native to S. Africa) is often planted as ornamental boundary around gardens and buildings. It is frequently found naturalized particularly near the coasts forming dense mats. The red-flowering morphotype (var. rubescens) is much more common on the Ionian Islands (formerly often mis-understood as »C. acinaciformis«). [2019-08-19]
