Golden yellow and orange-brown Crassula dichotoma corolla lobe colours both occur, here presented by two small plants growing side by side. Inside the cup they are similarly pale yellow, the ring around the mouth only occurring in one of them

These annuals flower early, here still notably shorter than the 15 cm in height they sometimes reach; often only 5 cm though. The stalked flowers face up, above the few opposite leaf-pairs.

The leaves are thickly succulent and not always green. Those in picture are faintly pink and yellow. The characteristic dark leaf markings, usually along the margins, are present but variable in several ways (Frandsen, 2017; Smith, et al, 2017; Le Roux, et al, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; iNaturalist).
