Crassula peduncularis, commonly known as purple stonecrop, is a herb in the family Crassulaceae.[1]
The annual herb has an decumbent habit and typically grows to a height of 1 to 50 centimetres (0.4 to 19.7 in) and around 15 centimetres (5.9 in) wide. It blooms between September and October producing green-yellow-brown-red flowers.
It is found in marshy areas and around ephemeral pools on granite outcrops in the Great Southern, Wheatbelt, South West, Peel and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia.[1] It is also indigenous to New Zealand.[2]
