Its natural habitat is temperate grassland with high summer rainfall. A tiny stemless succulent growing to just {{convert| 10|cm|in|abbr=on}} tall and {{convert|20 |cm|in|abbr=on}} broad, it has bulbous oblong leaves with leaf windows at the tip; and magenta and white daisy-like flowers in winter.[1] During periods of drought it has the ability to shrink beneath the soil surface, thus avoiding excessive desiccation, but making it extremely difficult to find.[1] It is named for Frank Frith, a Johannesburg gardener who showed specimens to N.E. Brown, a botanist at Kew Gardens, while on a visit to London, UK, in 1925.[2] The Latin specific epithet pulchra means “beautiful”.[3] It does not survive frosts, so in temperate areas it needs to be cultivated under glass. In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.[4][5] GalleryReferences1. ^1 {{cite web | url= http://pza.sanbi.org/frithia-pulchra| title = Frithia pulchra | publisher = SANBI PlantzAfrica.com | accessdate = 27 February 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web | url=https://worldofsucculents.com/how-to-grow-and-care-for-frithia/| title = How to grow and care for Frithia | publisher = World of Succulents | accessdate = 27 February 2018}} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Harrison |first=Lorraine |title=RHS Latin for Gardeners |year=2012 |publisher=Mitchell Beazley |location=United Kingdom |isbn=184533731X }} 4. ^1 {{cite web | url= https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/141421/i-Frithia-pulchra-i/Details| title = RHS Plantfinder - Frithia pulchra | accessdate=16 February 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web | url= https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/pdfs/agm-lists/agm-ornamentals.pdf | title = AGM Plants - Ornamental | date = July 2017 | page = 39 | publisher = Royal Horticultural Society | accessdate = 27 February 2018}} Sources
