    Crassula cultrata spreading shrublet

    Crassula cultrata spreading shrublet
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    Where neighbours keep their distance, Crassula cultrata may grow into a spreading, much-branched shrublet that becomes flat-topped to shallowly rounded as here in the Kouga.

    Although older leaf-pairs spread, most are angled up, particularly the younger ones near the stem-tips.

    The tall-stalked summer flowers were done and browned, maybe dusted as well, by the time of the May photo. Enough was still left to tell about a successful production season (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Smith, et al, 2017; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; iNaturalist).
