Angled pigface is a creeping (i.e. prostrate), fleshy (i.e. succulent), garden escape that mainly invades coastal habitats and occasionally also sandy sites in inland areas. The leaves are triangular in cross section. This species is able to propagate form seed or vegetatively, able to resprout when dumped as garden refuse.

It can be difficult to distinguish from the locally native species Karkalla (Carpobrotus rossii).

This plant is native to South Africa and is regarded as an environmental weed in states across southern Australia and should be removed from coastal gardens.
