These are perennial herbs used as groundcovers lined with fleshy, smooth, sometimes waxy leaves no more than {{convert|6|cm}} long. Leaves are triangular or rounded in cross-section and are arranged oppositely about the stem. The tubular flowers arise from leaf axils or at the ends of stem branches. The flowers may be several centimetres wide. They have up to 65 narrow petals in bright shades of yellow, orange, pink or purple. The center of the flower has whorls of up to 150 [[stamen]]s. The fruit is a capsule that opens when it becomes wet, releasing the many seeds.

Some species are used as [[ornamental plant]]s, particularly ''[[Malephora crocea]]''.

Species include:
*''[[Malephora crocea]]'' – orange flowers
*''[[Malephora framesii]]''
*''[[Malephora herrei]]''
*''[[Malephora lutea]]'' – improper reference to ''M. luteola''
*''[[Malephora luteola]]'' – Rocky Point ice plant - yellow flowers
*''[[Malephora pienaarii]]''
*''[[Malephora purpureocrocea]]'' – purple flowers
*''[[Malephora smithii]]''
