context_page_description: Crassula spathulata is a creeping, succulent ground-cover, indigenous to the Eastern Cape Province and southern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where it is found in leaf-litter on rocky ridges, often around the edges of forests.
  It is common as a ground-cover in cultivation, and several different cultivars are in circulation.
context_section_description: The small, ovate-rounded, spathula-shaped leaves have definite leaf-stalks (unlike the sessile leaves of Crassula pellucida). 
  The base of each leaf is truncate or rounded (heart-shaped), and the leaves have rounded bumps along their edges. 
  The thin, prostrate stems of this species are sometimes square in cross-section. 
  Tiny pink-white, star-shaped flowers appear on branched flower stems in Autumn.
