Faucaria felina, tiger jaws (a name it shares with Faucaria tigrina), is a species of succulent plant in the family Aizoaceae. It is endemic to the southern Cape Provinces of South Africa, but also widely spread in culture. It has a clumping habit and blooms with yellow flowers.[2] As its synonym Faucaria candida, white tiger jaws, it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
