Huernia?

Post by ElieEstephane »

Picked up this today. I think it may be a huernia.
I just need confirmation of the genus not the species.
Thanks in advance :D

Could be Huernia, or Orbea, or a smaller Stapelia, like schinzii. Hard to tell without flowers.

Stems look similar to Orbea variegata but without flowers it's extremely difficult to positively identify members of this group of plants, wait for the blooms.

I thought of Orbea variegate, as well as S. schinzii.. We'll see when she blooms,

I knew it's gonna be difficult without blooms but it seems the genus is difficult too. Thanks Salazar and williamsii823!
