Description
C. perforata grows long, unbranched, rambling stems. It looks similar to its close relative, Crassula rupestris, but C. perforata has a long inflorescence, with lots of tiny cream flowers, and it flowers between November and April. (Crassula rupestris has a dense and rounded inflorescence that has leaf-like bracts at its base, and it flowers between June and October).
Distribution
C. perforata occurs in thicket vegetation and rocky slopes, from near Worcester in the west, to as far east as central KwaZulu-Natal.[1]

gollark: “Does creating physics violate the NAP? While I benefit from the laws of physics making life possible, it also imposes constrictions unto me that I did not consent to. I didn't ask to be born, and I didn't ask to be subjected to gravity, so once I'm done suing my mom, I'm suing God.”
