String of pearls are a succulent with spherical leaves from South Africa. The small leaves are the size and shape of small peas. It was named after British botanist Gordon Rowley. The plant grows from weak surface roots, producing trailing stems up to three feet long on the ground which can root where they touch soil to form dense mats. It often grows under bushes or between rocks which provide some protection from intense sunlight.
