Gunniopsis divisa is a succulent plant in the iceplant family, Aizoaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia.[1]
The annual herb typically grows to a height of 0.05 to 0.1 metres (0.2 to 0.3 ft). It blooms between August and October producing white to yellow flowers.[1] The base of the plant is often thickened. The green fleshy leaves are opposite.[2]
It is found along roadsides inland from Geraldton in the Mid West region of Western Australia where it grows in loamy soils often over quartz.[1]
The species was first formally described by Robert Chinnock in 1983 in the article The Australian genus Gunniopsis Pax (Aizoaceae) in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.[3]
