Lithops pseudotruncatella is a species of succulent in the family Aizoaceae.[1][2] Initial confusion associated with Conophytum truncatum is where it derives its name, literally meaning "fake-truncatum". It also received The Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3] The plant is endemic to Namibia.[3]

They are grey to pale brown in color with branched marbling on the top.[4] Its flowers are yellow in color and not more than 4 cm in diameter.[5]
