Inland pigface (Carpobrotus modestus) is a succulent perennial of the family Aizoaceae, native to Australia. It produces purple flowers (with fairly narrower petals) which mature into fruits and is mainly used as a groundcover succulent or as a drought tolerant plant. It is situated in heath, shrubland, and woodland areas with clayey-sand. The plant has thick fleshy leaves that are curved in a triangular shape towards the tip. Flowers are open-petalled once they bloom outwards in a linear direction. Species contain both male and female reproductive organs (hermaphrodite.)
