I bought a Princess Pine (Crassula muscosa) when I started my succulent collection nine years ago. It is native to South Africa and known as watch chain, rattail, lizard’s tail, zipper plant, and princess pine.

Each stem is formed by many tiny leaves densely packed around the stems, resembling a chain.
