About Crassula moschata G.Forst.
Crassula moschata G.Forst. has main stems that grow along the ground, rooting at their nodes. Its lateral stems grow upright. The small leaves, which range from spoon-shaped to lance-shaped, are reddish at the base; upper leaves are concave, while lower leaves are convex. Leaves measure 2.8–4.2 mm long and 1.1–1.5 mm wide. Single flowers grow from the axils of upper leaves, blooming between January and March. Flowers have pink sepals and white petals that are roughly 2.5 mm long. Fruits produce four seeds, each about 0.8 mm long and roughly oval in shape. This species has a circumpolar distribution across subantarctic latitudes, where it can be found in southern South America, Tasmania, New Zealand, and many subantarctic islands. It grows in the littoral zone: on beachrock stacks, in humic sandy soils on rocky shores, and in thin peaty soil on beach pebbles.
