Crassula pubescens is a succulent plant, common and widespread in the southern Karoo regions of South Africa.

A small (up to 40 cm), shrubby perennial, with delicate, erect stems and pubescent (velvety) leaves that are 1-3 cm long.

[1] C.pubescens is much smaller than Crassula cultrata (which has a distinguishing spike inflorescence and leaves that are usually longer than 3 cm).

It occurs from the Cedarberg area in the west, throughout the Little Karoo, into the Eastern Cape Province.

It is recorded from the Worcester and De Doorns areas, from Napkys, Riversdale, Gouritz, Montagu, Laingsburg, Ladismith, Vanwyksdorp, Uniondale and Mossel Bay.
