This is a plant from the genus Trachyandra, specifically known as a Crassula succulent. They are mostly found throughout southern Africa and Madagascar.
No common name counts as “specifically known". Also this is in no way related to Crassulas - in fact it is as related to a Crassula to the extent an oak tree is related to a corn plant.
Its more closely related to lillies and asparagus.
