Crassula bardspoortensis

Crassula bardspoortensis is a variant spelling of Crassula badspoortensis van Jaarsveld (Aloe 38: 29-30, 2001), a rare succulent from the Little Karoo. GBIF keeps both spellings as separate entries, with the wild records under 'badspoortensis', so the conditions here follow that species' single measured site.

Where it grows wild

A rare succulent described by van Jaarsveld (2001) from a poort (gorge) in the Little Karoo. Many of his species from such gorges are cliff and rock-crevice plants, but that is not confirmed for this one.

Known from very few records; the measured site is at about 290 m.
