Carpobrotus (commonly known as Pigface, Hottentot Plant or Ice plants) is a genus of ground-creeping plants, with succulent leaves and large daisy-like flowers. The name refers to the edible fruits. It comes from the Greek "karpos" (fruit) and "brota" (edible).

Carpobrotus N.E. Br, 1925 è un genere di piante appartenente alla famiglia delle Aizoaceae, il cui nome deriva dal greco "karpos" (frutto) e "brotos" (edule). Volgarmente indicato come fico degli Ottentotti, è conosciuto in Italia anche con il nome unghia di strega.
