Cleretum N.E.Br.

Dorotheantheae is a small tribe of annual succulents in the Aizoaceae subfamily Ruschioideae. Though it originally comprised three genera (Aethephyllum, Cleretum, and Dorotheanthus), Cleretum remains as the only recognised genus. Dorotheantheae are endemic to the western and south-western parts of South Africa. The type genus is Dorotheanthus,[1] despite it being no longer recognised.
