A lovely plant with fleshy, bright green leaves and producing stems with lots of small yellow flowers, each stem giving a graceful, curving appearance. With us it has performed best in rock crevices in a very wet area of the garden.

Chiastophyllum oppositifolium has lovely, fleshy, scallop-edged leaves and arching stems of small yellow flowers.
