Could you be a bit more precise regarding the locality please?
It resembles indeed L maximillianus, but if you refer to the Steinkopf vicinity, it's unlikely.
There are several antimima resembling the plant in the pic, though most of these are also unnamed.

Re: I've been peeling ...
Hi Chris, yes, I try from time to time to connect to the forum. I still have to reply to your last email: yes, the roodiae is new, but it seems to resemble the lavranos material from the Karakamas mountains: I never got it adjusted to the northern hemisphere, so I'm not sure how to interpret its flo...

Re: I've been peeling ...
Hi Chris et al, When I was still living at my parents place, I flowered not a single burgeri. In that greenhouse, I had very little sunlight during autumn and spring, nothing at all during winter. After moving the plants towards the greenhouse in our old house during the winter in 2005, all burgeri ...

Re: Crassula bulbs
Hi Ian, Now this is an interesting plant. It's fairly common in the field, but you have to be out there at the right time of the year. Surprisingly it is very rarely seen in cultivation, but a fun and rewarding plant, because it looks so distinctive. Cr. aff alcicornis is an even more intruiging pla...

Re: Any hope of flowering these Antimimas?
The trick with antimimas is to water them very light in autumn and winter so that they keep the characteristic compact shape, and to flower them heavily in early spring.

Re: Seedling shape
Cono seedlings are even more interesting. You can have cylinders, sphaeroids, concave flattened ones etc It's highly variable. Depsite having grown them from seed from most/all species, I couldn't detect any structural link related to the sections. But for sure, C. burgeri has the most striking seed...

Re: Mystery Conophytum!?!
Hi Brian,
Excellent picture showing the variation one could get with RR714.
It can go from the normal lined, towards the densely lined plants and ultimately to "black-out" as these clones are sometimes referred to.

Re: A few Conophytums
Hi Ian,
It's not turrigerum because of size.
If you know all the plants in the tray, then we could get there via elimination.
If proliferans (CR1203 s Moutonsberg) was not in it, then I'd go for C. minusculum.
