ISI 2005-24. Glottiphyllum neilii N. E. Br Out of Stock

This is one of the most succulent of glottiphyllums, with thick, glaucous fans of two to six leaves. These are interestingly sculptured with an off-center keel on the upper surface, as if it were a thick slab of Gouda out of which a long slice has been cleanly removed with a cheese slicer. Plants from seed of HBG 84600, from seed ex U of Hamburg 19707, collected in the Great Karoo, Swartrivier, 5 km due N of Prince Albert, W Cape, S. Africa. $6.
