Crassula cremnophila

Crassula cremnophila, described by van Jaarsveld and A.E. van Wyk in 1999, is, as its name says, a cliff-dwelling species of the Cape Provinces. GBIF has no usable wild records, so the climate shown is a regional stand-in; grow it bright, gritty and well drained, as for other cliff Crassula.

Where it grows wild

The name means 'cliff-loving'; like other cliff Crassula it presumably roots in rock crevices, where water drains instantly. Detailed habitat notes were not accessible.

Unknown; no records carry an elevation.
