Crassula moniliformis

Crassula moniliformis N.H.G.Jacobsen is accepted by GBIF and Kew as a Cape Provinces species, but it is known from a single wild record. The name is also widely used in the plant trade for stacked-leaf 'string of buttons' crassulas, so the identity of plants sold under it is often unclear. The one measured site is warm, with moderate rain all year.
