Help with ID needed...

5 years ago

Recent acquisition, not in greatest shape. Stems/trunks remind me of aeonium, but are short and not really as woody...I think I see cilia. Leaves are not arranged as most aeoniums I have seen...I know color could change easily. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I noticed that, too, Tiffany. My thought was either echeveria or even aeonium. But C. ovata and echeverias are most definitely not my area. And even knowing aeonium, I would not hazard a guess on this one.

One of the many Jade hybrids. Can't add any more.

Thnx; I assumed it was a jade, but so far didn't find photos of the same-similar.

Some hybrids are unique. Would be interesting to see how it develops in full sun.

It looks like there are tiny teeth/serrations at the leaf edges. That does not fit with Jade (Crassula ovata.)

I have no idea what it is either, just not C. ovata. It looks like the foliage is alternate as well.

I have to look it up because I'm not sure. But I think I saw some hybrids between Crassula and Echevieria. Some complex hybrids so who knows?? I have a wild seedling that I have no idea where it came from that started out like a Crassula but now looks more like Echevieria. It has the dark purple like leaves as well. Flowers were typical Echevieria.

Could be hybrid with Sedum. Here's a link;

Hybrids are fascinating, no doubt! Your seedling sounds cool.
