    Crassula dichotoma leaves

    The Crassula dichotoma leaves in picture are lanceolate to ovate and blunt-tipped to rounded. Their upper surfaces are flat with a hint towards the concave or channelled. Succulence makes the lower surfaces bulge and the margins rounded.

    The arrival of dark brown to reddish spots, spaced along the leaf and sepal margins, as well as their tips is still under way, at this stage erratically represented on the plants shown. The size, colour, intensity and spacing of the dots are quite variable.

    Not all of these sometimes tiny plants may produce branches or multiple flowers (Frandsen, 2017; Smith, et al, 2017; Le Roux, et al, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; iNaturalist).
