Pronunciation: [lˌɪθəfˈɪtɪk plˈant] (IPA)

Synonyms for a lithophytic plant include, as they are often referred to as an epilithic plant, that thrive on rocky surfaces, and can be referred to as aerophytic or aerophytic plants because they often cling to rocks and old walls, taking in nutrients and moisture from the surrounding air thus allowing them to flourish in barren wastelands and rocky cliffs.
