Lithops julii is a species of succulent plant that belongs to the genus Lithops, commonly known as "living stones." Lithops julii, like other Lithops species, has evolved to resemble the rocks and pebbles in its natural environment. This adaptation helps the plant avoid being eaten by herbivores. It consists of a pair of leaves that are fused at the base. The leaves are thick and fleshy, resembling a split stone. Lithops produces daisy-like flowers that emerge from the cleft between the leaves. The flowers can be various colors, including white, yellow, or pink, and they usually appear in late summer or early autumn.
