Herbarium specimens often do not include the long characteristic peduncle but they can nevertheless be identified by their long corolla tube, as var. oblonga does not occur west of Humansdorp. From: Toelken, HR. 1985. Crassulaceae. Fl. S. Africa 14: 1-229. [CC BY]
Growing usually on lower slopes, often in depressions or on river or stream banks with low vegetation. From: Toelken, HR. 1985. Crassulaceae. Fl. S. Africa 14: 1-229. [CC BY]
