Crassula peduncularis, commonly known as purple stonecrop, is a herb in the family Crassulaceae.[1] It is native to southern South America, Australia and New Zealand.[2][3] It is an introduced species in Portugal, Germany and Japan.[2]

The annual herb has an decumbent habit and typically grows to a height of 1 to 50 centimetres (0.4 to 19.7 in) and around 15 centimetres (5.9 in) wide. It blooms between September and October producing green-yellow-brown-red flowers.
