.
.
Common name: Akkedisstert, Boesmansveters, Skoenveterbossie, Lizard's tail, Princess pine, Rattail crassula, Watch chain, Zipper plant
Family: Crassulaceae (Sedum)
Synonym: Crassula tillaea
Distribution: South Africa
National red list: Least Concern
Life form: Succulent plant
Comments: These plants’ slender branching stems are slightly woody, densely covered by small, scale-like, neatly overlapping leaves arranged in 4 rows. This does indeed look a bit like a club moss with stems of imbricated fleshy leaves like a square rat's tail branching to form a weird coral like growth.
