Crassula alcicornis

Crassula alcicornis is a little-known South African species described by Schonland in 1917, listed by Kew only as native to the Cape Provinces. GBIF has no usable wild records, so its exact habitat is unknown here and the climate shown is a regional stand-in; treat it as a typical dwarf Cape Crassula needing full sun, a gritty mix and a clear dry rest.
