Where it grows wild

Habitat details from the description were not accessible; the record area is arid shrubland of the Breede valley and Little Karoo, where dwarf Crassula typically grow on rocky slopes and outcrops.

Few records carry an elevation; the main climate site is about 290 m, with others at 370-550 m.
