The first plant collected in Korea ( probably from a garden) and
described as clausa was the one with closed flowers hence the
name .Later it was found out that the normal wild form has open
flowers hence the name clausa v normalis The one with the closed
flowers is fully pod and polllen sterile due to being a triploid. It is
however freqently found in korean gardens Its stoniferous habit can
make it an fast increaser.
PS a name t just as with dogs etc does not have to have any
bearing on the look of the plant ( There is a Crassula alba with red
flowers etc)
