Notes

Annual forb to 16cm tall. Leaves opposite each other, scarcely constricted into a sheath at the base, 1.1-5.3cm long, 0.4-1.3mm wide, flat, hairless, rarely warty, tips pointed on the upper leaves at least when young. Flowers small (less than 3mm across), with 4 tiny petals less than 1mm long, in groups of 3-15 flowers at the bases of the leaves.

Differs from Crassula tetramera in that it is a stiffly erect plant. Other differences can be seen with difficulty with a hand lens. Can hybridise with Crassula tetramera.
