Caroxylon aphyllum
Caroxylon aphyllum is a small species of shrub in the family Amaranthaceae.
It grows in the arid Karoo region of southern Africa. It typically grows in deep, dusty, saline soils, in valley bottoms and dried river plains. The shrub is so common that its name has become a designation of a certain type of Karoo ecosystem - "gannaveld" - and even of a local government - Kannaland Local Municipality.
