I have this plant labelled as Airampoa Loomsii but I cannot find any information under that name. Any thoughts?

Hi Jerry,

Nice flower. The segment we can see looks more like a corrugata (var. longispina), I think.
I do have a clone that was acquired as A. loomsii, ex-Doug Sizmur in 2001, which looks more like the photo from John Gamesby https://www.flickr.com/photos/sansevieria02/20904821581

And this is the clone I have, labelled as such:
Note that most mentions of loomsii on the internet, are incorrect, and actually refer back to Peebles' description of O. loomisii (note the extra i)
https://www.ipni.org/n/175261-2 which is a 'true' opuntia rather than an Airampoa /Tunilla.

So Airampoa loomsii is probably not a 'good' name?

Thanks for the info Tony. I'm now pretty certain that my plant was also acquired from Doug Sizmur around the same time so that fits well, unlike the 12 inch bowl it is now overflowing!
