It is really a strange fissurates indeed. maybe it's a Hybrid between fissuratus and retusus v. furfuraceus. it has caracteristics of both. but in nature you...
Hi Vlado, It is too immature to be sure. A. fissuratus "lloydii" seedlings look very similar or it could be a hybrid with retusus as Stef suggested. A side...

Hi Vlado, I've just posted photos of the lloydii-like plants in the Big Bend and an old import from the Big Bend that looks like the "intermediate" form from...
