Lithops pseudotruncatella is a species of succulent in the family Aizoaceae.[1][2] Initial confusion associated with Conophytum truncatum is where it derives its name, literally meaning "fake-truncatum". It also received The Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3] The plant is endemic to Namibia.[3]
