Crassula portulacea 'Gollum'

 - comm. Jade Plant 'Gollum'

This curious variety that originates from Southern Africa, is a compact, shrubby succulent with jade green leaves, almost tubular in form, slightly swollen at the tip, with what appears to be a suction cup, hence the reference to "Gollum" from Lord of the Rings. Generally confined and compact, ideal for mixed containers, it can grow to 60-90cm in height over many years.
