The Sour fig

"Carpobrotus edulis" is native to South Africa. It is also known as ice plant, highway ice plant, pigface or Hottentot fig and in South Africa as the sour fig, on account of its edible fruit. It was previously classified in genus "Mesembryanthemum" and is sometimes referred to by this name.
