Re: Which Huernia?
I agree with you, Mike. Huernia species can often have very variable flowers, which doesn't help!

Re: Which Huernia?
Looks like I had the wrong name on this one. It should be Sudanensis. It came from a reliable California source that normally is accurate with names but not with this one. Even the Phyto had the wrong name. It is the same plant that was described in the US Society's yearbook, Haseltonia a few years ago.

First it was orchids, then, since c.2001, cacti and succulents. I'm into South African plants, mainly conos, lithops and haworthias, with a few cacti, especially 'posh' mamms, turbs and other smalls. Now it’s stapeliads as well...
