Crassula tecta

It is a dwarf perennial succulent, which reaches a maximum of 5 cm in height. It has fleshy elliptical leaves with a flattened tip. The epidermis is dark green, covered with whitish papillae that make the surface rough to the touch and protect the plant from small animals. Its name 'tecta' derives from Greek and means "cover, protect", because of the leaves that overlap and cover each other. It blooms in the period from autumn to mid-winter, producing a peduncle up to 10 cm long, on which tiny but graceful white 5-petalled flowers appear.
