    This roundish Crassula tecta flowerhead gives a glimpse into an open flower. The pale yellow stamens appear triangular from above. They are shorter than the corolla lobes. The white petal lobes have tip shapes between rounded and pointed. The tubular corolla is much longer than the inconspicuous, pinkish sepals.

    The cylindrical flower stalk is thickish, pale grey with a faint hint of pink. The flower stalk emerges from the centre of the leaf rosette (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; iNaturalist).
