Tanquana

Tanquana is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Aizoaceae. It is native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa.

== Description == Plants are compact and low-growing, either unbranched or forming small clusters, and may grow partly sunken into the ground or just above the soil surface. During the resting period, only a single pair of leaves persists. Leaves are thick, fleshy, and typically rounded at the tips, with surfaces appearing punctate due to idioblasts visible beneath the epidermis. Leaf pairs are usually anisophyllous, though nearly isophyllous forms occur in some species.
