Diagnostic description

Both the rank of variety and subspecies are maintained in the present work. Varieties are considered to be neither geographically nor ecologically separated, while subspecies are isolated from each other either geographically or ecologically, or both. The rank of subspecies adopted by Friedrich for this taxon can therefore not be accepted. From: Toelken, HR. 1985. Crassulaceae. Fl. S. Africa 14: 1-229. [CC BY]

Habitat

Growing in moist depressions or standing water. From: Toelken, HR. 1985. Crassulaceae. Fl. S. Africa 14: 1-229. [CC BY]
