Lithops werneri is a species of plant in the family Aizoaceae. It is endemic to Namibia. Its natural habitat is rocky areas.1
Because the plants are difficult to find, some visitors to the plant's only known locality reported that no plants could be found2 and suggested the species may be extinct. Others have reported finding plants as recently as 2012, while attempting to reestablish the species.3
