Crassula viridis

Crassula viridis is a tiny, herbaceous pygmyweed of the Mexican highlands and the south-western United States, transferred to Crassula from Tillaea by Bywater and Wickens in 1984. It is not a typical collector's succulent: it appears in seasonally moist ground during the summer monsoon and is best grown as a short-lived plant from seed.
