Last Updated: 2024/11/05, Star beauty alias thick-leaf grass, white beauty and so on. Belongs to crassulaceae, thick leaf grass genus. Native to the tropics of central Mexico. It is introduced and cultivated in China, which is a common pot ornamental succulent plant. Flowers bloom in early summer. Star beauty and the so-called "white beauty" on the market refer to the same succulent plant because they have the same Latin name.
