Crassula nodulosa

A small perennial Crassula of the summer-rainfall grasslands and rocky outcrops of southern and eastern Africa, with a widespread range from the Cape to Kenya. Its measured sites have hot, wet summers and a dry, cool winter with near-frost nights, so it grows in summer and rests dry in winter.

Where it grows wild

Recorded mostly from South African highveld and savanna; by genus habit it grows in shallow soil pockets on rock sheets and among grass on outcrops, in the open. Species-specific habitat notes were not reachable this round.

Records span 620–1716 m with a median of about 1560 m, so most plants are on the cool high plateau.
