Crassula peploides
A little-documented Crassula of the Drakensberg and Lesotho highlands, recorded mostly between about 1900 and 2900 m. It grows in a summer-rainfall climate with frosty, dry winters, so it wants cool, very bright conditions, water in summer and a cold, dry winter rest.
Where it grows wild
Its GBIF records sit in the high basalt grassland of Lesotho and the surrounding Drakensberg escarpment. Specific microhabitat notes were not available; high-altitude Crassulas there usually grow in shallow soil on rock sheets, ledges and damp gravel among grass.
Measured sites lie at about 1880–2900 m (weighted mostly 2400–2600 m); few records carry their own elevation.
