About Crassula perforata Thunb.

Crassula perforata Thunb. produces long, unbranched, rambling stems. It is closely related to Crassula rupestris, and shares a similar overall appearance. However, Crassula perforata differs from this relative in its inflorescence and flowering time: it has a long inflorescence bearing many tiny cream flowers, and it flowers from November to April. In contrast, Crassula rupestris has a dense, rounded inflorescence with leaf-like bracts at its base, and flowers from June to October. This species occurs in thicket vegetation and on rocky slopes. Its distribution extends from near Worcester in the west to central KwaZulu-Natal in the east.
