I am bit reluctant to call this a succulent… looks more of a hydrophyte plant, was recorded from near VOF entry from a wet place..
As this is still unidentified, please suggest if this can be included this fortnight.. The plant seems to be Crassula aquatica also with nomenclature change as Tillaea aquitica Thanks for introducing me to another unknown. In one way the flowers seem to be sessile or almost so, indicating Tillaea schimperi, on the other hand leaf apex seem to be extended into a pale bristle, suggesting T. alata. efi page on Tillaea schimperi Yes this is Tillaea (Crassula) aquatica. it is a problem invasive species here in the UK and used to be planted as an ornamental. It is no longer sold! Thank you all very much for introducing me to a new genus. I think this is close to images at Crassula schimperi I guess you are right
