Crassothonna clavifolia is a low-growing, trailing succulent from the rocky and sandy deserts of southwestern Namibia, grown for its grey, club-shaped leaves and yellow daisy flowers. It needs very sharp drainage and plenty of sun.
Crassothonna clavifolia (previously Othonna clavifolia) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to Namibia. Its natural habitat is rocky areas. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The species was classified in 2004 by the IUCN as Least Concern, although recent concern has been expressed about commercial looting of this plant as part of the succulent plant market.
This species is found from the northwest of the Richtersveld where the sandveld meets the Gariep River towards the southern Namibian coast. This succulent is found in sandy deserts sometimes growing among rocks.
