Crassula cotyledonis Thunb.

Perennials with basal rosettes, with woody stems rarely up to 0.2 m long, usually little branched, with old leaves remaining on branches until they decay. Leaves oblong-oblanceolate to broadly obovate, 30-60(-90) x 10-25(-35) mm, obtuse or rounded, dorsiventrally flattened but both surfaces more or less convex, densely covered with coarse recurved hairs and with marginal cilia not in a single row, grey-green to yellowish green. Inflorescence an elongate thyrse with many dense spherical dichasia (i.e. part-inflorescences produced by 3-6 nodes of central axis), with hairy peduncle 0.15-0.3(-0.45) m long. Calyx: lobes oblong-triangular, 2-3 mm long, obtuse, covered with spreading hairs and with more or less distinct marginal cilia, fleshy, grey-green. Corolla tubular to almost cylindrical, fused basally for 0.3-0.6 mm, cream to pale yellow; lobes panduriform, 3-4.5 mm long, with almost spherical dorsal appendage in terminal position and with membranous petal apex on inside. Stamens with yellow anthers. Squamae oblong-cuneate to almost square, 0.6-1 x 0.4-0.6 mm, truncate or slightly emarginate, fleshy, yellow.
