	Carpobrotus glaucescens - Growing Native Plants
		Carpobrotus glaucescens also known as Pigface or Angular Pigface is a member of the Family Aizoaceae.
		Carpobrotus glaucescens is a prostrate, creeping succulent that has long trailing stems to 2 m long, which root at nodes along the stems.
		Carpobrotus glaucescens is found growing naturally in coastal areas on sand dunes along the NSW and Queensland coast, north to Rockhampton.

	Effect of Carpobrotus edulison native seed germination, seedling growth and survival in a Northern Californian coastal ...
		Carpobrotus edulis was later planted along California highways by Caltrans and along the coast to stabilize sand dunes.
		Carpobrotus edulis is a habitat generalist and as such can tolerate a range of soil moisture and nutrient conditions and establish in the presence of competitors (Albert 1995).
		Carpobrotus edulis is native to relatively dry, nutrient poor, coastal areas of South Africa, with similar climatic conditions as coastal California.

		Carpobrotus edulis is an aggressive invader into many coastal systems, but it is not necessarily difficult to remove.
		Carpobrotus edulis is an aggressive exotic species that has invaded the coastal plant communities of California.
		Carpobrotus chilensis, it reproduces both sexually and clonally, spreading in ever-larger mats across the surface of the soil or sand.

	carpobrotus: mesembrine? - The Corroboree
		Carpobrotus rossii (pigface) is the one found around the southern coast of australia, edible fruits (salti strawberry like)and even the leaves are edible I hear.
		Carpobrotus virescens common in WA and Carpobrotus edulis being a weed from south africa common in WA The C. edulis seems to contain mesembrine, nothing much is known about the aussie pigfaces.
		We can presume that the bush tucker (Carpobrotus rossii and modestus) ones probably contain little or no amounts of toxins and probably also hardly any mesembrine as otherwise it would have been mentioned or noted over their thousands of years of use as bushtucker.

		A phylogeographic approach to the Carpobrotus invasion in the western Mediterranean.
		The genetic aspect of the thesis aims to precise the different taxonomic entities (parents and hybrids) of Carpobrotus and their diffusion pattern at the level of the western Mediterranean Basin.
		A primary hypothesis suggests that the existence of superabundant, introduced, dispersing mammals (Garenne rabbits and fl rats) could explain the blatantly more rapid expansion and diffusion of Carpobrotus on islands rather than on the continent, where the densities of these mammals are clearly lower.

		Most of the material currently found in California is probably of hybrid origin, potentially from five species.
		In previous floras, California material has been misidentified as Carpobrotus aequilaterus Haworth, which was published with a description of vegetative characters only and no type specimen.

	Carpobrotus en Conil
		El Carpobrotus edulis o uña de león es una especie de la familia de las Aizoáceas originaria de las costas de Suráfrica, muy utilizada en jardinería para cubrir taludes por su rápida propagación vegetativa y su facilidad de adaptación.
		Su floración es abundante y con abundantes semillas, que unido a su facilidad para reproducirse vegetativamente, a su particular metabolismo y la capacidad de acumulación de agua en sus hojas crasas, le proporcionan ventajas sobre las especies autóctonas, y de aquí su comportamiento como invasora y exótica.
		La implantación del carpobrotus en las costas andaluzas, principalmente en zonas ajardinadas, se lleva a cabo coincidiendo con los años de expansión turística, y hoy es difícil encontrar alguna zona del litoral en la que no se detecte la presencia de la uña de león.

	Coastal Plants - Pigface (Carpobrotus et al)
		The Carpobrotus are large, trailing, leaf succulent perennials.
		They have long stems that root at the nodes, with triangular leaves, occasionally tinged with red, that varies depending on the growing conditions.
		A closely related Carpobrotus (C. edulis) from South Africa has become naturalised and can be found growing alongside the native species, recognisable by its yellow flowers.

	Carpobrotus edulis
		Highway iceplant (Carpobrotus edulis) is a ground-hugging succulent perennial that roots at the nodes, has a creeping habit, and often forms deep mats covering large areas.
		The large, two and a half- to six-inch-diameter, soli-tary flowers of highway iceplant are yellow or light pink, whereas the smaller, one and a half- to two and a half-inch-diameter sea fig flowers are deep magenta.
		Grazing: Because of the salty and astringent quality of the leaves and the fibrous to woody quality of stems, grazing is unlikely to be an effective control for highway iceplant.

		Hi Brian, The carpobrotus you describe fits well the species C chilensis and it's hybrids so you will find it very hard to positively identify.
		I quote "distinguished by it's branches being usually tinged red to deep purplish-red,apart from their purplish petaloid staminodes".
		I believe he is very approachable and can very probably give you the information you require.

		The species name refers to the equal sides of the leaves.
		Actually, they are shallow-rooted and give way readily to heavy rain.
		Delfina Cuero, a Kumeyaay or Southern Diegueno Indian, made the following comment about Carpobrotus chilensis in her autobiography: "We ate the fruit fresh; leaves were as a vegetable; seed was ground for pinole." (Shipek 93).
