Description and taxonomy

The plants are mesembs, and resemble those genera within the family Aizoaceae to which they are most closely related; namely Lithops, Lapidaria and Schwantesia, although they require even less water and have a distinctive keel along the lower leaf surface.

The genus name of Dinteranthus is in honour of Kurt Dinter (1868–1945), a German botanist and explorer in South West Africa and the Greek word 'anthos' meaning flower.[2]

It contains the following accepted species:
