Crassula decumbens
Crassula decumbens, commonly known as rufous stonecrop, cape crassula or spreading crassula, is a herb in the family Crassulaceae that is native to southern parts of Australia, South Africa, and Chile. There are generally two accepted varieties: Crassula decumbens var. decumbens and C. decumbens var. brachyphylla.
The annual herb blooms between July and October producing cream-white-pink flowers. It has a decumbent habit or erect branches up to 15 centimetres (6 in) in length. The acute leaves have a linear-lanceolate to oblanceolate shape and the blade is typically 2.5 to 9 millimetres (0.10 to 0.35 in) long with a width of 0.4 to 1.5 mm (0.016 to 0.059 in). The axillary flowers are four merous with pedicels that are longer than sepals in fruiting material. The sepals are erect with a lanceolate shape and obtuse apex. Petals are striate and brown in colour and shorter than the sepals.
