Somalia is home to many choice succulents, including this species hailing from Somalia’s northern regions. It is the earliest described (1899) of a group of species characterized by their modest-sized rosettes of dark green, glossy leaves with varying degrees of paler spotting. We offer tissue cultured plants of HBG 25495, a plant grown from seed originally collected Dec 16, 1969 by John Lavranos (7555) at Lower Sheikh, Somalia. $7.
