Crassula lanceolata

Crassula lanceolata is a small, soft-leaved Crassula of southern and south-tropical Africa, most often recorded on the summer-rainfall highveld and escarpment of South Africa, Eswatini and Lesotho. Little species-specific growing information is published, so the conditions below come mainly from the measured climate at its recorded sites and from related highveld Crassula.

Recorded from 75 to 3225 m, median about 2000 m; the heaviest-weighted sites lie at 1200-2260 m.
