| Species: | Smooth-seed Stonecrop (Crassula colligata ssp lamprosperma)| This Photo: | 🔍S2, Whole, in Bud & Flower🔎 | Thank you Pieter Winter (PieterWinter) for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Murray Mallee SA and possibly elsewhere We thought this might be Ribbed-seed Stonecrop (Crassula colligata ssp colligata), also found in the Murraylands, but Pieter said "The subsp. colligata was originally associated with clay or loam soils of the interior, while subsp. lamprosperma was associated with sandy coastal habitats. The clasping sepal tips is what lead to the name "lamprosperma", so I would go with that one rather." S2 was found on a sand dune in a semi-arid area of Black Hill, Murraylands.
