Crassulaceae (Sedum)

South Africa

Succulent plant
Comments:
It belongs to a group of Crassulas loosely known as “stacked” Crassulas. The opposing pairs of succulent, triangular leaves are joined at the base and “stacked” densely (about 5 mm apart) on thin stems. The leaf pairs appear to be threaded onto the stems, hence the common names “String of buttons” and “Necklace vine”.
