Crassula venezuelensis

A tiny, often creeping Crassula of the high Andes, found in wet páramo and puna from Venezuela to northern Argentina. It lives in cold, constantly moist, very bright conditions with near-freezing nights all year, which makes it one of the harder Crassulas to keep at room temperature.
