Crassula connata, also known as sand pygmyweed or pygmy stonecrop, is a small succulent plant in the Crassulaceae family. It grows in patches on the ground, particularly in rocky areas and vernal pools. The stems are short and covered in tiny pointed leaves, which are only a few millimeters long. The plant starts off green and turns pink and red as it matures. It is native to western North America, as well as certain regions in Central and South America.
