I’ve never seen this species before, but it just doesn’t look quite right for P. Crassifolia. I have another observation from the same date, locally rare, growing up against boulders in rock crevices, less than 50 individuals, possibly far fewer, 5-10 observed. Maybe it’s just crassifolia, but the leaves seemed different to me. I don’t have a specimen so this will have to do for now.
