'Crassula portulacea monstrosa 'Gollum'

Description: The Crassula cv. 'Gollum' is a very compact plant considered a hybrid of C. x portulacea by some experts. (a supposed cross between Crassula argentea and C. lactea).
This is a similar cultivar to the earlier Jade cultivar 'Hobbit' but where 'Hobbit'  leaves are curled back around, while the cultivar 'Gollum'  has leaves that are nearly tubular and appear to be tipped with a suction cup reminiscent of the J.R.R. Tolkein character by the same name.
Both 'Gollum'  and 'Hobbit'  are interesting plants with trunks that becomes thick with age and developing interesting stem patterns. This two cultivars has been considered to be identical and people confused one to each other and now plants in the the trade and collection are variously and often improperly named. But whatever named, it's a nice variation on the jade.

Stem: It has a stout succulent, segmented, branching trunk, it can be shaped to create spectacular bonsai forms.
Leaves: Tubular, trumpet shaped, each of them tipped with a "suction cup", 4-ranked (decussate), smooth, deep glossy green in color with very light spotting usually with bright red leaf margins; the new growth is red.
Flower: In clusters, small, star-like, white or pinkish-white, with pink stamens.
