Crassula perforata is a somewhat variable taxon but typically forms columnar stems, the branches square in cross section by virtue of tightly packed, decussately arranged, opposite pairs of leaves. The form offered here has especially thick leaves such that it was thought to be the thicker leaved C. sladenii but that species possesses longer internodes. This has the more tightly packed, flatter leaves of the robust form of C. perforata sometimes called C. conjuncta. We offer rooted cuts of HBG 120088, ex Munich BG, C. 868, Oct 31, 2006, as C. sladenii. $10.
