I'm starting to think my Gibbarum pilosulum should be fatter! More water in the growing season, less when dormant, you'd think I'd have leanrt that by now
Stomatium alboroseum and friends
Do Neohenricias count?
Hybrids between them?
Gibbaeum geminum, johnstonii, and pubescens
Faucaria tuberculosa

Cheiridopsis peculiarus X 3
At the start of the growing season, the sheathed leave pair breaks out of the dry skin and unfolds. Then the mature leave pairs have two new leave pairs grow from the center, one pair is a leave pair that will sheath over next summer. The other leave pair will host the flower that flowers in early spring, then that leave shrivels and dies. The unmature leave pairs that have only one leave pair coming out of the center at this point, and will not have a flower, as seen below. I forgot how they clump, some how extra leaves get added when older.
