Crassula tenera

A little-known Crassula, described by Schönland and published by E. Phillips in 1917. GBIF holds no usable wild records, and its range, habit and habitat could not be confirmed, so this profile is a cautious genus-level guide. It may be treated as a synonym in modern revisions of the genus; check the name before relying on it.
