Where it came from
Published in 1988 by Cactus & Co., this definitive work on the genus Lithops represents the culmination of Desmond T. Cole’s extensive field research and botanical study. The book emerged during a period of rising interest in succulent cultivation, serving as both a field guide and a taxonomic reference for enthusiasts looking to understand these plants, colloquially known as living stones, in their natural South African habitat.
The volume is recognized for its meticulous documentation and the clarity of its instructional content regarding the unique morphology and care requirements of the genus. Cole, a professor and linguist by trade, brought a rigorous academic approach to the project, which was well-received by the specialized botanical community for its contribution to the classification and understanding of these highly adapted desert plants.
