Abstract
Abstract: Two populations of Crassula subulata var. hispida, a variety previously recorded as being extinct, were discovered in the southern foothills of the Langeberg mountain range near the town of Ashton, in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Characters of the living plant specimens are noted, and shown to agree with the type. Observations on the habitat and ecology of the plants are included; as is a suggested revised conservation status.
