Silverbush. with scientific name of Carpobrotus edulis, is a type of succulent that is native to South Africa and is found along the coastal areas of the Western Cape. It is a low-growing, sprawling shrub that typically reaches heights of up to 1 meter, with fleshy, elliptical leaves that are a deep green color on the top and silvery-gray on the underside. The leaves are topped with bright yellow flowers that bloom in clusters from August to May, attracting a variety of pollinators and adding a pop of colour to the landscape.

In South Africa, silverbush has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat a range of ailments. The leaves and stems of the plant are rich in antioxidants and have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it a popular remedy for treating wounds, skin conditions, and respiratory issues such as bronchitis and asthma. The plant has also been traditionally used to treat digestive issues such as diarrhea and constipation, and is believed to have anti-cancer properties. Despite its many benefits, silverbush is not commonly used in traditional medicine today, and instead is often used as an ornamental planting in gardens and landscapes, valued for its attractive foliage and bright yellow flowers.
