Compare to Crassula perfoliata var. minor

Many thanks for that lead, Rina. Your reply was indeed quick.

Most Crassula like full sun, though I am not sure how strong the sun is in Melbourne. You probably don't want direct sun for more than 7-8 hours.

Thanks, mesembs, for that tip. Melbourne sun can be quite strong during peak summer (at least on some days), so will sure keep your comment in mind when planting.

Rina, are you sure, it's not Crassula falcata?

C. falcata (common names: propeller plant, airplane plant) is used all the times; I found from -here- that:

Accepted Scientific Name is Crassula perfoliata var. minor and C. falcata is one of the synonyms. I hope that info is correct. I do not have this plant, just notes :)

Eta: I just checked few other sites to be sure, and could not find 'falcata' listed, only C. perfoliata...for example - here -

As sceintists study plant DNA, names sometimes change, so the same plant may have a former name. This is from cacti.com

• Names and Synonyms:

  Crassula perfoliata var. falcata, var. minor, Rochea falcate, Crassula johannis-winkleri, Crassula perfoliata var. falcate, Crassula perfoliata var. miniata, Crassula perfoliata var. minor, Crassula obliqua

• Common Names:

  Airplane Plant, Propeller Plant, Scarlet Paintbrush

  I have one and it blooms dependably at the same time each year, reminding me of the annual local cacti and succulent sale where I bought it.

There are even more synonyms according to site I posted link to (cacti. com refers to that site too). I prefer to learn accepted scientific names and hope that few sites I rely on = sites that have more scientific info, and hopefully detailed descriptions - have correct info...nurseries/GH/sellers sometimes don't, and occasionally put catchy names on plants - making it look like it is a new hybrid or cultivar...Or may not be up-to-date with changes and still using old name.
