Wall pennywort (or Navelwort) is a member of the Stonecrop family. It is a rather fleshy species with almost circular leaves found on old stone walls or on natural rock outcrops. It is common on non-limestone rocks and banks in western Britain. This example was clinging to the rocks just above the high water line on the River Tamar.
