Crassula strigosa

A small, hairy-leaved Crassula from the winter-rainfall Cape of South Africa. GBIF labels place it on mountain slopes, cliff faces and in rocky ravines, in escarpment shrubland and fynbos or renosterveld. It grows in the cool, wet winter and needs a dry, bright, airy summer.

Where it grows wild

It grows among rocks on moderate mountain slopes, on cliff faces and in ravines (kloofs), for example in Tanqua Escarpment Shrubland, and more rarely on alluvial fynbos and renosterveld plains. Plants in crevices and ravines get some shade for part of the day.

The few records with an elevation fall between 600 and 1219 m, median 750 m.
