The native range includes Namibia and the Cape region and Free State in South Africa. POWO recognizes four botanical varieties. It places the former names Crassula lycopodioides and Crassula pseudolycopodioides under Crassula muscosa var. muscosa. These labels therefore lead to the same species while preserving their association with the nominate variety. [2-WWW] [2-WWW]
