Crassula cymbiformis

A Crassula from South Africa's former Northern Provinces, described by Tölken in 1985 in Flora of Southern Africa. No wild GBIF records passed the filters; the climate comes from one site at about 1160 m in North West Province, with hot rainy summers and dry winters with cool nights. Grow it as a summer-growing succulent with a dry winter rest.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were found. Summer-rainfall Crassula of this region usually grow in rocky grassland or on outcrops, often in the partial shelter of rocks; this is assumed here.

The only measured site is at about 1157 m.
