Since no one has taken a shot at it, my best guess is Crassula capitella. If so it needs a TON of light. I had recently moved mine to 4 hours of direct light and it got etiolated so I had to move it back to all day full sun and it's now becoming more dense.

It is a Crassula nudicaulis var. platyphylla. Josh green man told me after I posted one for I.d.:)

Interesting, I didn't think C. nudicaulis had hardly any stem at all. Could be thinking of something else though.

Indeed, voila!

Serious doubts if this is a C. nudicaulis.

Var. platyphylla. I don't see where the link you sent me says that. I have spent more hours than I care to admit looking up this plant. That's what I've come up with time and again.

Perhaps you can offer a suggestion of what it is if it isn't what I said? We are basically comparing national databases, and I am inclined to trust the U.S. database rather than the Canadian one. It is possible that this plant does not circulate outside of the U.S. It seems to be pretty widely unknown, given that even the folks here have trouble identifying it.

Not clear if you are referring to link Harry posted, but I do not believe link he posted is 'the Canadian one'....Regardless, they supply proper information. (Can't resist but ask: what is wrong with Canadian databases anyway?...meant in good way).

You are right, my apologies all around. For some reason, I thought it was a Canadian database-- i hadn't had coffee yet.

There is nothing wrong with Canadian databases:). I was trying to say in my post that a Canadian database may not have the plant listed if the plant doesn't circulate in Canada.

I maintain, however, that the link I posted is reliable as it is a national database.

Thank you for setting me right, Rina. Apologies, Harry.

I am thinking about databases generally: don't they collect info on plants regardless if the plant is sold in their country or not?

If database of certain grower, then I would expect they have info about plants they generally grow.

Anybody knows for sure?

Similar looking plant was discussed recently; suggestions were trailing jade - crassula platyphilla, senecio jacobsennii (kleinia petraea). See posts and pics by nanzjades toward end of -this thread-

Well, I was thinking about when a plant is local maybe it doesn't get documented right away....also, the one I was looking at was national database with documented....oh forget it. I forgot my point.

Yes, this is the same plant, a platophylla (sp?). We had a conversation about it when I bought (and subsequently killed) one earlier this month, and josh popped in and named it.
