Re: Mixed up Lithops

All fairly clearcut. The L. verruculosa just might be "inae" although it doesn't look like a classic one.

Re: Lithops ID

I would go with L. marmorata from what I can see. Some distinguishing features you might want to look for: - L. marmorata tends to be 6-merous, L. optica 5; - L. optica tends to have fairly closed fissures (although obviously open when flowering) and lopsided leaves, L. marmorata more even leaves an...

Re: Rose of Texas?
