Crassula qoatlhambensis

A Crassula described by Hargreaves from Lesotho; its name refers to Qoatlhamba, the Sesotho name for the Drakensberg. It has no wild GBIF records, so these conditions come from one high-altitude Lesotho climate site and knowledge of Drakensberg Crassulas: cool, very bright summers with rain, and cold, dry, frosty winters.
