I managed to get hold of one of these a few months ago and can't find any information about it other than general information on Dorstenia foetida itself. It is described as follows in this quote from LLifLe "Dorstenia foetida is a sub-shrub, stem succulent which may be branched or not. This is a very variable species especially in shape and size of leaves, length of petioles and stipules."
It has been flowering profusely and is about to spray the greenhouse with seeds. My question: will the seeds come true and produce a 'flat form' or a variety of forms? It's the only Dorstenia I have so won't have been cross-pollinated.

Re: Dorstenia foetida flat form
Not the best of photos I'm afraid.
It's put on 2 inches in diameter in the past month, but not any real gain in height. It grows in the carnivorous plant greenhouse where humidity is a minimum of 85% as the benches are covered in big water trays and the air must reach saturation point on some days, I read somewhere these Dorstenias like high humidity.

Re: Dorstenia foetida flat form
If it is the only Dorstenia you grow, there is no reason seedlings won't grow into mostly similar looking plants.
