Montiopsis sp.
Rarely documented genus Montiopsis belonging to the Portulacaceae family. Same family of the more widely know "pata de guanaco" and "quiacas".
Hierbas o sub-arbustos a menudo suculentos o plantas en cojines; hojas alternas u opuestas, con apéndices estipulares escariosos o setosos; flores actinomorfas, hermafroditas, solitarias o variadamente cimosas o racemosas; sépalos 2, imbricados, libres o unidos en la base; pétalos 4-5, imbricados, libres o conados en la base, pronto caedizos;
I've seen this plant identified as Montiopsis potentilloides, but the leaf length of the M. potentilloides is longer.
