    The variegated version of this trailing succulent with skinny stems and spherical leaves looks a lot like the all-green version, except for the difference in leaf color. The whitish variegation is somewhat variable in extent from leaf to leaf, but it's centered around the translucent epidermal windows, yielding a sort of cat's eye effect when viewed from close up (or with the use of a macro lens).
