Crassula solieri

A tiny pygmyweed of winter-rain regions in western North America and central Chile, closely allied to Crassula connata. Like its relatives it is most likely a short-lived winter annual that germinates with the autumn rains, flowers in spring and dies as the ground bakes dry. Little is published under this name, so the profile leans on the measured climate and on the pygmyweed group.
