ISI 2026-14. Crassula rupestrisThunb.
This species is commonly cultivated for its charming columnar branches of four-ranked leaves that are so succulent and inflated that the leaf margins are rounded on the short, ovate, sessile blades. The leaves are usually gray green with orangish or reddish-blushed margins and tips. The clone offered here presents an unusual chartreuse color. We are pleased to offer this collection made by master grower Rowena Thompson when she visited South Africa in 1990. She worked as the succulent propagator at the Huntington at the time and later married Steve Southwell and operated RSVP nursery. R. Thompson 90-138B was cuttings collected August 9, 1990, in the area of Calitzdorp, W. Cape, S. Africa. Rooted cut of HBG 69471.
