Juttadinteria simpsonii is a species of plant in the family Aizoaceae that is endemic to Namibia.
J. simpsonii is known only from 7-14 subpopulations near Lüderitz in the ǁKaras Region of Namibia, where it grows in sandy pockets amongst dolomite rocks, on low and mid- elevation mountain slopes, and on rocky or sandy plains. [3] [4]
J. simpsonii is an upright shrub growing to 250 mm (9.8 in) tall with up to 15 branches. The leaves are boat-shaped, with teeth along the margins, keels, and sometimes faces. The flowers, measuring 20–35 mm (0.79–1.38 in) across, each bear 40-60 white petals and 180–305 stamens. [3] [4]
