Must admit there is so much rubbish on the WWW that unless its in a book or Colin tells me otherwise it keeps the label, sometimes with a revised name on the other side.
Tina, Mike, Maciej,

As well as 'relying on Colin' you folk should really be making good use of Kew Plants of the World Online (POWO) - it is only a click away and can answer most of the spelling and synonym queries, eg. https://powo.science.kew.org/results?q=fockea

Thanks Tony, I had a Fockea article for reference many years ago but you never know if memory & spelling match correctly.
It was when I was going thru my 'fockea phase', I never managed to source all 6.

That's a lovely plump plant- thanks, they don't really seem produce a lot of vines or leaves like the others but its makes it easier getting to see the caudex.
