Crassula muscosa
 |
Crassula muscosa (Linnaeus, 1760),[1] also named Crassula lycopodioides (Lamarck)[2] or Crassula pseudolycopodioides, is a succulent plant native to South Africa and belonging to the family of Crassulaceae and to the genus Crassula. It is common as a houseplant worldwide and is commonly known as Rattail Crassula,[2] Watch Chain, Lizard's Tail, Zipper Plant and Princess Pine.
Contents |
Description [edit]
The plant has tiny leaves, suddenly light green, densely packed around the thin stem, forming a square mass.[1] It grows as an intricate bush with a maximus height of 15-20 cm, and the flowers are little and yellow-green. It is invasive and can be easily propagated by stem cuttings.
As for the common names, also the scientific ones are referred to its appearance: muscosa derives from the Latin word muscosus, meaning "mossy". Lycopodioides, referred to the clubmoss Lycopodium, derives from the Greek words "Λύκος" (líkos, wolf), "πόδι" (pódi, foot) and οειδής (oeides, -oid, similar to).

Crassula tillaea
Crassula tillaea is a succulent plant known by its common names mossy stonecrop and moss pygmyweed. It is a small fleshy plant growing only a few centimeters in height. It is green when new and gradually turns orange and then deep red when mature. It has tiny triangular pointed leaves only a few millimeters long. A tiny flower or pair of flowers grows between each oppositely-arranged pair of leaves; the flowers are about two millimeters in length and width. The fruit is a minute follicle containing one or two seeds. This plant is native to Eurasia, particularly the Mediterranean Basin, but is known in other regions as an introduced species.
