Crassula planifolia

An obscure Crassula described by Schönland in 1907 from the Cape Provinces and known from only two wild GBIF records. Practically nothing about its ecology is published, so these conditions are built from a single warm, humid, low-elevation climate site and general Crassula care.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were available. The measured site is at about 130 m in a warm, humid, summer-rainfall part of the Cape Provinces; Crassulas of such areas typically grow on rocky slopes, in thicket margins or in shallow soil over rock.

A single measured site at about 130 m; the two records carry no elevations.
