Perennials with branched underground tubers, rarely extensively branched, with one to several smooth branches (5-)20-40(-150) mm long with pale flaking bark. Leaves elliptic to obovate, (5-)8-15(-20) x 3-12(-16) mm, cuneate, acute, obtuse or truncate, somewhat dorsiventrally compressed and often slightly grooved above main vein, with a few scattered hairs when young, glabrous later, green to pale brown with red striations. Inflorescence a thyrse with 1(-2) monochasia, each with one (rarely in cultivation more) flower(-s), glabrous rarely with a few papillae; peduncle 15-14(-60) mm long, purplish brown; pedicels 4-12 mm long. Calyx 2-3.5 mm long, with a few club-shaped hairs or glabrous, green; lobes triangular-lanceolate, acute. Corolla glabrous outside; tube funnel-shaped, 7-10 mm long, inside with a few fine hairs where filaments are fused to tube, yellowish green; lobes 3-6 mm long, recurved, violet, pink or rarely white. Anthers 0.9-1.2 mm long. Squamae oblong, 0.9-1.1 x 0.2-0.3 mm, usually more or less emarginate, slightly fleshy, pale yellowish green. From: Toelken, HR. 1985. Crassulaceae. Fl. S. Africa 14: 1-229.

Small succulent, with 1-several, erect, smooth branches, up to 40 mm long and 2-4 mm thick, from an underground tuber. Leaves dry at flowering, elliptic to obovate, swollen, 8-15 x 3-12 mm, soon glabrous. Flowers upright, in a sparse glabrous inflorescence, with peduncle 5-40 mm long, corolla tube 7-10 mm long and funnel-shaped, yellow-green, lobes 3-6 mm long, pink to white. From: Bruyns, PV. 2013.

Dinter described two species, and although he did not initially distinguish them clearly, he later apparently separated C. hoerleiniana by its erect branches and C. schaeferiana by its very short branches. Herbarium material shows all intermediates. In cultivation small plants ultimately develop long stems (Brown, 1964). Although T. schaeferianus often produces dense mats, similar to those of T. decipiens, it is distinguished from that species by its glabrous flowers and thinner stems (3-4 mm in diameter).
