No picture but surely would be C. meyeri. Considered a synonym, I don't know whether it has features that meaningfully distinguish it. Hang tight and fingers crossed one of the Conophytum experts will explain all. Thanks, Iann. It is definitely slightly spottier than another one of mine I found, bu...

Thanks, Phil. Great tip! C. leopardinum L. Bolus has come up. I'll Google that....

Edited to add: Uwe Beyer has it listed as C.meyeri "leopardinum", I see.

I have a cono labelled C. leopardianum. I'm thinking it should be C.meyeri 'leopardinum'. I tried the IPNI site to no avail. Can anyone help, please?

They're gorgeous. Temperature for the diso, please?

Absolutely. We all need to win the Lottery...! I got lucky on eBay and got Cole's Lithops at a very good price, so that's a start.

So much expert information: thank you all. I so wish I owned a copy of the Conograph. Still, at least I have Dumpling. And I'm thinking SH missed a trick by not using terryi!

Oh, thanks, that's very interesting. I didn't know about that! Complicated, ain't it? But reading it quickly, I agree, luiseae would seem to be correct from all angles. So...are we all thinking the plant should be C. bilobum subsp.altum 'luiseae'? Or...?

...and with the reference on IPNI you can look up the original description, since that journal is freely available at the Cactus and Succulent Digital Library, see https://www.cactuspro.com/lecture/MDKG/MDKG-1930-1/page-24.en.html Interestingly, although Schwantes published it as luisae, he explain...

I knew you'd know! Many thanks to you both. I found C. bilobum ssp altum 'luisae' on Cono's Paradise lists, but can't find 'luiseae'. Maybe the name changed again?
Edited to add: using the ipni link Ralph gave, only luisae came up.

Does anybody know this Cono? I can find the name nowhere but under the Abbey Brook Collection Number list. Is it an accepted name or a varietal name now? Any clues, please!
