Crassula alba var. alba

    Crassula alba var. alba

    The white flowering Crassula alba var. alba in Mpumalanga grassland is unusual for the South African southern extreme of the distribution of this plant; whatever the name alba might imply! The usual form of this flower is red in our part of the world. The dominant presence in flower volume seen here of a rare form of this plant (common in North Africa), is quite remarkable.
