    Hello everyone,

    This is a great forum. I was just looking for some help on identifying a succulent I recently purchased. I was not able find any info during search of different web sites or in differnt cacti & succulent books. This plant did have a white flower when I purchased it. That is about all I know. Thanks for your help in advance.

    It looks like a Crassula of some kind; a relative of the popular Jade Plant (Crassula argentea). Perhaps its a Crassula perfoliata. It's about to flower, what colour are the flowers?

    Thanks for your reply Michael. It had a white flower but only one not a cluster of flowers. I was temped to say it is "Crassula ausensis ssp. titanopsis" because the tops of the leaves are very textured with slight bumps. However not confident that is right.

    Ok, if the flowers are white then my ID is wrong. Crassula perfoliata has red flowers in all the pics I've seen. I still think it's a Crassula though, so go with your gut.
