Crassula closiana is a herb in the family Crassulaceae that is native to Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Western Australia.[1][2]
The succulent annual herb has an erect habit and typically grows to a height of 1 to 10 centimetres (0.4 to 3.9 in). It produces white-cream flowers in the spring time between September and October.[1]
In Australia, the plant is commonly found on granite slopes, sand dunes and in winter wet areas in the South West, Great Southern, Peel and Wheatbelt regions.[1]
