Are you able to identify this succulent which I bought from my local nursery who were unable to tell me what it was ?

Expert Response

The plant is not identified yet by our experts. Please send more photos and information for us to try again. A photo of the whole plant, and one of a single branch, please. Tell us where you live. Also, is this to be an inside plant, or outside garden plant?
Hi Jacki D,
thanks for getting back to me on this.  The plant is an indoor succulent.  I live in Southampton, United Kingdom. If you need any more photos please let me know. I have done an extensive search on google images for succulent plants and cannot find this one.

Regards

I wish we had an expert in succulents available. I searched for succulent with dimpled leaves. Some images of Crassula exilis ssp. schmidtii look possible. Let me know what you think.
Hi Jacki D,
You ARE the expert !!!  
I think you have been spot on with this one. I have searched for further images of the Crassula exilis ssp. schmidtii and they seem to me to be a good match. There are some slight differences between some of them but I would suggest that I have an infant plant but yes I am happy with your find.
Many thanks for your time spent on this, I am so happy you managed to pin point this for me.

Very best regards        Clinton Harley  Southampton UK

Thank you for letting me know it looks right. A bit of advice about succulents in general is to give them lots of light and keep pinched back regularly to avoid the "lanky" look caused when the leaves space out too far. I'm at about the 45th parallel, and with the short days mine often get thin-looking. I pinch them back well at the start of summer and they are soon looking good for the growing season.
