Crassula cotyledonis is a succulent plant endemic to the arid Namaqualand and Karoo regions of South Africa. It forms a low, sparse rosette with tiny, woody stems and flattened, ovate leaves that are usually a light grey-green colour. The greyish leaves are pubescent and have a line of short hairs along the leaf-margins. The tiny, closed-tubular, globular flowers have 2-3 mm long petals, and are held in rounded bunches along the long, elongated flower-stem. It is normally found higher on hilltops and slopes, in very rocky ground and outcrops, and occurs from Worcester, through the Karoo regions as far east as the Eastern Cape Province, and north as far as Namibia.
