Appearance

A small branching species with loosely-held 18mm long leaves. The leaves are brown-green with papillae and tiny points at their tips.

''An. telephiastrum'' has relatively few axillary hairs, and its hairs or bristles are shorter than its leaves or sometimes even barely visible.

The pink flowers have 30-45 stamens and appear on a bracteose inflorescence.

Habitat

It co-occurs with several related species of ''Anacampseros'', but favours specific conditions. It inhabits spots that are slightly more arid than those in which ''Anacampseros retusa'' grows. However, in spots that are more arid still, it tends to be replaced by the related ''Anacampseros arachnoides''.
