Succulent ID
Sorry about the poor photo but I can't get into the greenhouse to get any closer! I have had this plant for several years and its never flowered before so I thought now would be the time to get it I'd. It has spent the winter under the staging and without water so has a few shrivelled leaves.....
it spends the summer outside.Mike

Re: Succulent ID
It looks like a Crassula aborescens, which variety or subspecies I have no idea

Re: Succulent ID
Silver dollar maybe?
Re: Succulent ID
I think it's just Arborescens, 'Silver Dollar' is just the name Americans call it rather than a cultivar name. With a bit of careful pruning it eventually makes a nice bonsai-like plant with a fat trunk. I'm surprised it's not more widely grown.

Re: Succulent ID
From the shape of the leaves, I believe it is Crassula arborescens ssp. undulatifolia

Re: Succulent ID
Despite what everyone above suggests, this is Crassula ovata, the good old money plant. Mine is just finishing flowering now.
The leaves of C. arborescens are much more glaucous and usually broader.
Best wishes,
Derek Tribble

Re: Succulent ID
Looks like Crassula Arborescens C.V "Blue Waves".
