Chamaegigas intrepidus

About

Lindernia intrepida is a species of aquatic plant that is native to central-west Namibia, growing in semi-arid and savanna regions. It grows in shallow temporary pools on granite inselbergs, surviving regular environmental extremes that include drastic daily changes in temperature and pH, along with extreme fluctuations in wetting and drying. It was previously known as Chamaegigas intrepidus, meaning "intrepid dwarf giant", referring to the tiny plant's ability to thrive even in the desert.
