Crassula macbridei

Crassula macbridei is a little-known Peruvian crassula described by Steyermark and Macbride in 1938, with a single GBIF record. South American crassulas are mostly tiny moss-like herbs of damp, open ground, so it is best treated as a cool-growing plant that needs constant moisture rather than a desert succulent. The advice here is extrapolated from that group.

Unknown. Andean relatives grow at mid to high elevation.
