This variety is known only from a few localities, and although it is similar to some forms of var. setulosa, it seems significant that plants of var. deminuta flower earlier than those of var. setulosa from nearby localities. From: Toelken, HR. 1985. Crassulaceae. Fl. S. Africa 14: 1-229. [CC BY]
Growing in moist places between rocks. From: Toelken, HR. 1985. Crassulaceae. Fl. S. Africa 14: 1-229. [CC BY]
