Corpuscularia cymbiformis (Haw.) Schwantes

About a foot high, branched and shrubby. Branches, opposite, very short, crossing each other in pains, and arising from the axillae of the leaves, compressed, or ancipitous when young, rounder when old; and covered with a loose pale brown bark. Leaves, short, small, fleshy glaucous and punctate, nearly distinct, on old and unluxuriant plants very short, a pair of them just before expansion, putting on a shape between oval and sphaeroidal, which no other Mesembryanthemum but this puts on (that I have seen). The expanded leaves are subtriquetrous, compressed, with blunt angles and points, and a keel gibbous, or rounded, or contracted inwards at each end, which gives the leaf, (if not luxuriant,) a cymbiform, or boat like shape. Flowers, I have not seen.
