Burchell spotted the first Lithops on September 14th 1811, and this is described in "Burchell, W.J. Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa. 1822." In 1821, Adrian H Howarth published a description of Burchell's plant under the genus Mesembryanthemum. The plants were obviously known to indigenous peoples long before that. The genus Lithops was first officially named by N.E.Br in 1922.
