Orbea variegata - Starfish Cactus

I’m not certain of the name of this succulent. It’s very hard to find any print or information on it.
I think it is from the Heurnia family.
It would be great if anyone could identify it for me please.

I finally have a name for this succulent, it’s Orbea variegata or Starfish Cactus, unless anyone can correct me

Orbea variegata - Starfish Cactus belongs to the following groups:

    Thanks Cathy. It doesn’t have the nicest of smells, but is very rewarding when it decides to flower.

    Lovely capture. I was going to say this is a Stapelia – but realized you’d identified. I think maybe Orbea is synonymous, or one name is the most recent. (powers that be in the botanical world love to change names on us!) I’ve got a couple varieties of these, with the most delightful rotting meat aroma!

    Thank you for your input and for providing some closure on this mysterious and beautiful (pongy) plant.
