Cheers mate i think your right :smile: i've just googled both and there's a lot more pics coming up as brasiliensis than monacantha that looks like it :smile:
Looks like i've got to change the label that's on it! :lol:
The pads are no more than 2 inches x 1 inches and 2m thich at the most i assume its a dwarf variety/species

Some nice plants there, and I envy your deep windowsills!
