Targioniaceae

Targioniaceae is a distinct plant family characterized by its adaptive morphology suited for arid environments. The plants typically exhibit thick, fleshy leaves that store water, crucial for survival during prolonged dry periods. These succulent features, combined with their often compact and low-growing form, help reduce water loss and shield them from harsh sun exposure.
