Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum is a succulent plant in the ice plant family known by the common name slender-leaf iceplant. This is a usually annual herb (terophyte) forming a mostly prostrate clump or mat of stems up to about 20 centimeters in maximum length, without a basal vegetative rosette. The small stem branches are lined with knob-like cylindrical fleshy leaves up to 2 centimetres long. The herbage is glaucous-green to bright red and visibly covered with colourless shining, bubble-like papillae (large, white, glistening bladder cells or water vesicles). The flowers are solitary or borne in loose clusters. Each is about half a centimeter wide with many narrow to thready white or pale yellow petals. The fruit is a capsule which opens when it becomes wet, releasing seeds.
