Cleretum clavatum, commonly known as the salt sandfig, is a small annual plant in the family Aizoaceae and is part of the strandveld and fynbos vegetation.[1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape and occurs from Hopefield to the Cape Flats. The plant has a range of 1 855 km² and only ten subpopulations remain. Crop cultivation and development have destroyed large parts of the plant's habitat. Invasive plants and further development are still threats.[2]
