There looks to be some Gasteria in there. - Maybe x Gasterhaworthia 'Royal Highness'?

If the individual heads stay small then it looks like it could be Haworthia 'Cassytha' of unknown origin.

Hi,
Thanks to all for your replies, I didn't give Gasteria a thought but yes it could be! Perhaps I've got it in too much sun, greener it might look different, flowers would tell us more, more Gasteria then Haworthia??
Thanks

Mel.
