Conophytum is a genus of South African and Namibian succulent plants that belong to the family Aizoaceae. The name is derived from the Latin conus and Greek phytum. The plants are also known as knopies, waterblasies, sphaeroids, conos, cone plants, dumplings, or button plants. They are well adapted to pot culture and are quite happy on a sunny windowsill. In their distribution range they do well in rockeries. Next to Lithops, Conophytum is the most popular genus of the Mesembs.

Conophytum smorenskaduense has soft solitary long cylindrical green bodies with bright magenta flowers with white bases in mid-winter.
