Description

The Crassula nudicaulis var. platyphylla flowers are tightly stacked in two opposite clusters, only a small section of the long, erect inflorescence visible in picture.

The bract below each cluster is green, its base beige like the main stem that also shows some red. More pinkish red is visible on the flower cluster peduncles, thickly terete meaning cylindrical.

The flower clusters consist of cream or white, urn-shaped corollas, each covered over halfway from its base by five thick, green sepals with white, ciliate margins. The narrowing top parts of the corollas protrude beyond the sepals.

Five, fleshy petal tips overlap each other and spread around a tiny flower mouth, unless they still cohere in the cone-shaped buds also present. The anthers and stigmas are included, invisible in the open flowers in picture. 

There is always something interesting to see for the individual in a personal world big or small. In a sense every pair of eyes belongs to an explorer of the universe, whether they are thus used or not (Smith, et al, 2017; Frandsen, 2017; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; iNaturalist).
