Antimima is a genus of succulent plants in the family Aizoaceae. It includes 106 species native to Namibia and the Cape Provinces and Free State of South Africa.

Description

The Greek word "antimimos" means "imitating", and refers to the similarity some species have to the different genus Argyroderma.

The species of this varied genus typically grow as dense cushions or mats. Otherwise, Antimima species are very similar in their superficial looks to the related genus Ruschia, with 3-sided waxy succulent leaves, and pink or white flowers.
