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 found[2] and suggested the species may be extinct. Others have reported finding plants as recently as 2012, while attempting to reestablish the species[3].
