Crassula sarmentosa
On a forest path near a garden in Kiserian, Nairobi, Kenya. July 2014.
FLOWERS: Distinctly star-shaped flowers with five or four long points. Mostly white in color.
SUCCULENT: A small shrub.
LEAVES: Thick, ovate leaves are opposite on the stem. Margins of leaves have numerous, small, accuminate teeth. Cultivated favorites include variegated leaves.
RANGE: South Africa native, but widely planted and easily propagated in Kenya highlands. I hope people are not still bringing more, exotic plants to Kenya!
FRUIT: Dry capsules.
