    Erepsia forficata, commonly the rock spoonfig, is a succulent shrublet of the Aizoaceae family growing smooth branches.

    The species distribution is small, restricted to Table Mountain. The habitat is rocky fynbos cliffs and ridges. The species is rare but has a stable population in habitat early in the twenty first century (Smith, et al, 1998; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
