Unknown Mesemb

I picked up a few of these the other day but I don't know what it is and neither did the guy I got them from. My first thought was a Cheiridopsis, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

I would think Odontophorus.

Yes. Perhaps O. nanus.

Thanks! A Google search of that name confirmed your ID. I'll look into the species more to make certain if O. nanus is correct.

It is very green. It might look quite different after a season of direct sun.

Could look different, though I grow my plants under 50% shade cloth. Direct sun where I live is generally too strong for most of my potted plants.
